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 started working with children when I was 17. My first experience was working for a daycare center, and I worked there for two and a half years. I started as a floater, but then I became a part-time teacher for K-2 and 3-year-old kids. I then went to another daycare and I worked with 1 to 2-year-old children. After the daycare experience, I decided to be a nanny and made a career out of it. I have 23.5 years of experience working with children. I am a 43 year-old woman with a 11 year-old daughter, who is very loving, caring, responsible and loves to grow a strong friendship with the family especially with the child/children. I ask $20-22 a hour depending on how many children, how many hours and the duties I would be responsible for doing. I am available on certain days, if interested, feel free to message me.

Melissa was with us for two years. She joined us when our son was just three months old, and from the very beginning, she provided exceptional care, love, and support. I was never worried about safety with Melissa. She is like a second mom to my son. She's the kind of nanny who goes with the child's flow, but also keeps safety boundaries in place and helps create a sustainable system to ease transitions between her care and ours. I trusted her to take my son out and about, drive him around, go to events and playgrounds, etc. She was always actively engaged with him and talking to him. Unlike with other nannies, I never had to tell her to get off of her phone, turn the screen off, interact more with my child, or inform her of what he needs at any given time. She is very safety conscious, focused on education, and helpful. Melissa regularly helped with household tasks like emptying the dishwasher, doing laundry, and vacuuming. She made everything tidier than she found it. When we hired Melissa, one of her references said that Melissa was the type of nanny who will somehow magically be able to keep the baby's socks on and I have found that to be true. At times, she has been more able to do various things to my son than I have (nail clippings, trying particular new foods, etc.). She also did seasonal and age appropriate crafts, which I think is very sweet. Melissa will make your life easier and give you a sense of peace that your little one is very well cared for.

Kyra has been providing childcare for my kiddo on a regular basis now, and I couldn't ask for a better babysitter. She is reliable, punctual, and consistent, always arriving on time and ensuring that our niece is well cared for and safe. She handles every situation with patience, maturity and composure, even when things get a little hectic. I can trust her judgement when it comes to our niece. Our niece can be a handful at times, and the fact that Kyra manages her with such kindness says a lot about her character. Our niece is always so excited for her to come over which speaks to the care that she provides regularly. I highly recommend Kyra as a trustworthy, dependable, and caring childcare provider.

I am a loving and nurturing caregiver who is trying to leave the daycare work and enter a more one on one nanny setting. I started child care in 2022 and have worked in daycares as a teaching assistant ever since both full and part time throughout the years. When working part time at daycare I was nannying as well and fell in love with the more engaging and personal setting. My favorite part of childcare is helping the children grow and assisting to their personal needs as a child and I find daycare can be hard to accomplish that with so many children. I have experience from 4months (nannying) to 3/4 years (nanny and daycare). I am cpr and first aid certified and have no problem helping with light housekeeping such as laundry or light dishes. I am a very tidy person and I have my own vehicle for transportation. I am very outgoing and just love to have fun with the children in my care as they learn and explore the world around them.
