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.

Alysia is going to be our Summer Nanny and we are so excited to have her join us. She is very soft-spoken and calm, qualities we are always looking for with caretakers of our three boys. She's driven and our interview was really fantastic. Alysia, can't wait to have you in May!

Greetings! My name is NaKiya Jackson. I go by Kiya or Ki. I’ve been in healthcare for a little close to a year. I started off as a DDMAT in late October to early November. Being a DDMAT I took care of adults with developmental disabilities. I then months later went on to take care of children in DHS care that had behavioral issues and were waiting for placement, or I did hospital visits. I enjoyed what I did because imagine you not having somewhere there for you in your most vulnerable. That’s super hard and very unfair. I just want to come in to make everyone’s lives easier. My picture is still being reviewed and verified! If interested we can FaceTime!
