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.

Every since the day we first met Sarita, she has been the number one topic for my children! I really appreciate her for making her home comfortable for my three daughters. The app Brightwheels is really a GREAT feature as well to keep track of the children daily report, from what they ate to pictures of them enjoying themselves. I am beyond thankful that our FIRST time looking for childcare was a SUCCESS!!!

My 10 years of experience caring for and meeting the needs of my two daughters have made me understand that love, patience, and dedication toward children are essential for their development and growth. I feel really good about creating a positive and lasting impact on families, where my support with their children helps the rest of the family's activities run more smoothly. You can expect the best attitude from me while performing my duties as a nanny, and that your children will feel a welcoming, calm, and trustworthy environment with my presence. I speak Spanish and am currently learning English to communicate better. I am very motivated to be the right person to meet your needs.
