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. Wherever your child's interests lie, babysitters on Sittercity are prepared to engage them in a nurturing way.

I grew up being a caretaker, of children, dogs, and family members. I was a full time caretaker for my nana 5 years ago who suffered from dementia, I had to bathe, dress, and feed her, as well as take her to and from countless appointments. 3 years ago my cousins were misplaced due to horrible circumstances and had to move in with me and my family for about 9 months, after school i would pick up my cousins from school and took care of them until around 8 pm when there mother would be home 5 days a week. Last summer I was a full time caretaker of my niece/goddaughter, she was 13 months when i began taking care of her full time due to unfortunate circumstances my sister was in.
