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.

Hi! My name is Brooklyn, and while I may not have paid babysitting experience yet, I’m a proud parent of four wonderful kids and have spent years caring for children in a loving, hands-on way. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your little ones — because I’ve been in your shoes. From diaper changes and nap schedules to school runs, homework help, and everything in between, I’ve done it all. I bring patience, understanding, and a calm, nurturing presence to every situation. I know how to keep kids safe, entertained, and cared for, whether it’s playtime, snack time, or bedtime. I’m organized, dependable, and always respectful of each child’s unique needs and personality. I’d be honored to care for your child or children the way I would want someone to care for mine. I’m looking forward to connecting and seeing how I can support your family!
