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.

Hi! My name is Remi, I’m a mom of two boys ages 2 and 5 who are both full of energy and curiosity. As a parent of an autistic kindergartner and a playful toddler, I’m all too familiar with daily tasks required for this particular role and I would love to care for your little one while you work, run errands or just have a break! My kiddos would have a blast with yours, have snacks, play with toys or watch movies! Not only would you receive child care, but your little one will make two new friends along the way. If you consider me in any way shape or form I would be so very appreciative and grateful! Thanks for reading this far. I also work from my home. Thanks again! I also have a child abuse clearance so rest assured your kiddo is safe with me!
