Q: What’s the difference between a babysitter and a nanny?

Babysitters and nannies share the same primary responsibility of providing safe and enriching care for your child, but there are a few differences between them. Babysitters are typically hired for occasional work on an irregular schedule. If you’re looking for last-minute care for date night, or the occasional few hours after school, a babysitter is a great option. Nannies, on the other hand, are more commonly associated with regular work, whether full or part-time, offering daily or consistent care to a particular family. There are also several different types of nannies, including au pairs, house managers, doulas, live-in, and overnight nannies. Identifying the type and frequency of child care you’ll need is the best way to decide whether a babysitter or nanny is a better fit for your family.

Q: How do babysitters interact with my child?

Babysitters on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

I have always loved babysitting, and I love kids so that is why I decided to become a babysitter. I have baby sat my nieces and nephews who are 2, 3, 6 and 8 since they were infants. I have spent several summers babysitting kids, and I spent one summer babysitting a special needs child. I also have worked as a registered behavior technician for children with autism and other behavioral diagnosis for over a year. I worked at a daycare for several months as well in high school.

I love babysitting because of the humbleness in it. Kids keep you both humble and young. Currently the only experience I have is with my own nephews I helped my mom take care of them for about 2 years whilst I was still in school. My current skills are basic household skills such as cooking, cleaning etc. One thing I can help out with is homework and running errands if needed.
