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 am an auntie, an educator, and a caretaker! I am an aunt to 17 —yes, 17 —nieces and nephews ranging from 1-year-old to 17 years old. I've been an aunt since I was 10, so I've always been around little ones and I love it! I love watching them succeed, share in their joy, and help carry the burden of sorrows. Plus, getting to watch little people grow into who they'll be as adults is just an awesome experience. During the school year, I am a special education paraprofessional who works with kiddos on the autism spectrum along with other learning disabilities. I am CPI, CPR, and First Aid certified.

I’m patient, kind, and compassionate, and I’m comfortable caring for sick kiddos when needed. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and have experience as a caregiver in a nursing home. As a mom, I know how important trust and reliability are, and I always prioritize what families need to feel comfortable. I can provide updates while you’re away and have wonderful references.
