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.

I am a college graduate and grandmother to 6 grandchildren, and a native Ohio Buckeye who relocated to Phoenix in 2000. As a “Nana”, I have a lot of experience with children from infant to teenager. I believe that every child is unique. I enjoy playing games, doing puzzles, coloring, taking walks, showing children how to bake, reading to them, helping with homework, and sharing chores. I also, among other things, like spending time with children on outings such as museums, movies and zoos, striving to make every day an enjoyable learning experience. My grandchildren describe me as compassionate, fun, patient and a good listener…and sometimes goofy. I am certified in CPR and first aid and have worked with the oldest nanny agency in Arizona since 2019. I have provided nanny services to churches, private homes, and resorts on an hourly, daily and weekend basis. I have been complimented on the attention and compassion given to those in my care. I also provide personal assistance services if you need errands ran, basic household chores, organizing, etc. P.S. An extra charge for gas will be required if children need escorted or errands are run.
