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.

My experience as a childcare worker is extensive. I have been a nanny, babysitter, household assistant, pet-sitter, and caregiver. I can work flexible hours, and I try to be available at the last minute if the need arises. I am a patient and calm person, who likes to enjoy life and being with children and animals. Laughing and taking it one step at a time.

Lisa moved her schedule around to help us out when another sitter cancelled last minute. She showed up early, came very well prepared and our two kids gave her great reviews! We will definitely use her again.

I am a certified teacher who became a stay-at-home mother after several attempts to find an appropriate "home care" setting for my children. I know how difficult finding reliable child care can be, and I want to provide other families with the type of home care setting I had so much difficulty achieving.

Hello, my name is Melody. I am looking for a position. I have over 5 years of experience working with all ages from newborn-12 years old. I have all child clearances, background check, FBI fingerprints, CPR certificate for infant, child, & adult that I can email for you to keep!

I have my own car so transportation and reliability wouldn't be an issue. I love reading books and doing educational activities with kiddos but I also love doing outdoorsy things like going on a walk, or to the park and pool! Please feel free to ask any questions, thank you!
