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.

Deb has watched my daughter on many occasions at my house. She would figure out a way to accommodate my last minute requests. It is very obvious that she had a genuine love of children.

Working with children has always been at the center of my heart along with healthcare, which is why I am currently pursuing my dream of being a pediatric RN! I am looking to see what other possibilities are out there and hopefully find a family/families to build and connect with for potential opportunities!

The past two years I worked for a daycare during college breaks and I loved it! I have three nieces as well, age ranged from 1-10 years old, and I love being able to teach and engage in creative activities with them. I am currently in nursing school and have an interest in going into NICU, labor and delivery, or pediatrics. I am CPR certified and I have experience working in housekeeping. I would love to have the opportunity to continue working with children to help aid in their development.

I am a caregiver for newborn toddlers and children will keep children interested and having fun depending on age. I am comfortable with meal preparations and light housekeeping if needed. Comfortable with pets aswell. Pick ups are provided during school if necessary. I am very caring and compassionate and will make parents feel at ease as I know it's very hard trusting people with your loved ones.
