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 have worked with kids for a good portion of my life. I was one of the oldest of six, and had fifty plus cousins beneath me in the family tree. Needless to say I’ve had experience with children. I used to be a swim instructor and water babies instructor, I also used to be a preschool teacher. I have undergone sleep training for newborns through age 5 as well as safe-eating. I am CPR/AED/First aid certified for adults, small children, and infants. If you’d like to know more, go ahead and send me a PM!

Emma is fabulous! She has been helping us out with our two boys on a daily basis for the past month while look for a new full-time nanny. She is incredibly patient and conscientious and our boys adore her. I'm so glad we found her to help us out and look forward to using her as a regular babysitter once we find full-time childcare.

Hannah is an AMAZING babysitter. We had her help out with our 2 children (1 year old and 2 year old with special needs) for 3 months while she was on summer break from college. She was always on time, always worked well with the kids, had the ability to adjust to their needs and had a great attitude towards things. We really appreciated how she bonded well with our 1 year old (who she spent the most time with). I would recommend her to anyone wholeheartedly.
