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.

Hello Families, My name is Kreasha Sylla. I am 21 years old. Just recently moved to Minnesota from New York back in April. Back in New York I used to babysit for many different families of both toddlers and infants. As my long time career goal I’d like to one day open up my own daycare service. Eventually after that I’d like to open up something called a boys and girls club mainly to help school age children up to high school stay out of trouble and follow the right path in life. I’m actually not work and do plan on furthering my education in early childhood education.

I became a caregiver because I’ve always had a passion with helping children. I used to be a teacher at KinderCare before I was pushed out. Due to over staffing, so I decided to go back to offering childcare. I’ve helped multiple parents with potty training. Their kids go home learning new things, knowing how to sing their ABC’s knowing how to count knowing how to do stuff that most kids aren’t able to do.
