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.

Hello, I'm Sheena! Here's a full biography about me: I'm looking forward to obtaining certs in English education and IT. Working and focusing on what I love doing enables me to continue to nurture children and develop skills to address children. My preference for right now, long term part-time and occasional help on the weekends. Although, if there’s an opportunity I will work full-time on the weekends. However, I love kids! They're the future and why I get up everyday to work and further my education . When I am not taking care of children. I tend to read, focus on my startups, and write poetry. My hobbies are writing, watching musicals, movies especially the Disney, DC and Marvel movies. I enjoy listening to music and going to exhibitions, hikes, drives, walks. Anything that captivates me. I'm a nice and talkative person who can easily get along with anyone if given the opportunity. I hope you give me a chance. Thanks to all the parents and families who took the time to read my bio and hopefully I can be your caregiver! Have a safe day!
