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.

Tassany is a great and kind babysitter. She took care of our one year old baby daughter on numerous occasions including evenings and weekends. She is polite, prompt, and follows instructions well. Our daughter had lots of fun playing with Tassany. We gladly recommend her to other families.

When I was 14 I started watching my own little brother from a very young age, I always have loved to work with kids and watch them grow as I make a fun and educational day worth it. I’ve not only watched my brother but i’ve also watch my family friends kids as well, i’ve grown so many attachments with different kids and I absolutely love spending time with them. I’ve always grown up with animals as I still have some of my own. I absolutely love taking care of animals as much as I do kids, they’re so playful and amazing to watch as you play with them they love it and as tired as they are they still have motivation to keep going. I’ve watched family’s and others dogs and pets for about 7 years now.
