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.

Hi I’m Sabrina! Babysitting has always come natural for me. I used to be around kids all the time when we lived at home in Florida, some being my younger brother, younger step sisters, or all my fiancés nieces & nephews (he has a ton😍) ranging from babies to teenagers. I consider myself to be a super fun and engaging babysitter. I love to help kids learn and get out of their shell a bit if they have trouble doing so. I think the most important aspect to bonding with a child is to show them patience and understanding. I also like to see how I can relate to them. I find that helps a lot with getting along and communicating. I would say my most obvious characteristic is how friendly and smiley I am. If you pick me to watch your kids and pets, you won’t regret it ☺️ Also, I have done a background check. I have one done through another company saved that I can send you upon request. I just don’t have it done through here. :)
