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.

I am 19 and just moved to Pittsburgh from North Dakota! One thing im leaving behind is my family which includes 5 kids, 3 dogs, and 3 cats. Helping children grow is something that brings me tremendous joy! I have been babysitting since I was 11 and have cared for a variety of ages, infants, toddlers, preschool, elementary, and some middle school children as well! I previously took a babysitting course with the red cross which granted me certification in CPR for children(I haven’t renewed this but am planning to soon). I also worked as a mentor in an after school program for children ages elementary and middle school who were in low income or first generation families. In high school I took a trip to Ecuador and helped young kids and kids with disabilities in orphanages!
