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.

Hello! :) My name is Charity, and I love kids. I've been raised around babies and small children my whole life as well as have 3 siblings. I've babysat for at least 2 families on a fairly regular basis, as well as babysat lots of other kiddos! I'm a junior in college studying Elementary Education and can't wait one day to have my own little ones. I treat every kid as I would my own. I'd love to find a family who could use help especially during the summer or whenever I'm available. I'm not certified, however I did have some first aid training in high-school, and can definitely get references if you have any questions. :)
