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 truly enjoy working with kids. I love babysitting because I enjoy creating a fun, safe and positive environment where kids can play, learn, and feel comfortable. It's also good practice for when I wanna have my own kids some day. I have 3 years experience caring for babies and toddlers, including helping with meals, playtime, and keeping things tidy. I'm patient, responsible, and always focused on safety. I did do a couple cleaning jobs so I have experience in that, I can help with light cleaning and following any routines parents have in place. I'm also great with pets. Families can count on me to be dependable, respectful and someone their children feel comfortable, safe and happy with.
