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.

well hello to all my possible families!! I am a very hard worker. I love working with children because it gives me a new opportunity each day because these little guys are going to be our future and knowing I'm helping them become better in their lives makes me happy. I am very dependable! I'm actually new to Memphis I came here in august for school so other than school first thing in the mornings I am free. I have really good communication skills and I am very patient. Being in college has taught me how to become a very good multitasker. but all around I consider myself a very loving and caring person and hope to be a part of your family. Thank you.
