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.

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 Nyasia A. I'm from Georgetown, SC I grew up in a really big family. I love watching after kids and going over nursery rhymes with them. I'm a very patient person. Patience is very important to me and I think it's important for kids to have. Just as children need to be reminded to "be patient" and "wait their turn to use the slide,"I exercise patience with children. Remind them to do their chore, then give them time and space to get it done. I am a PT Caregiver/pharmacy tech, and caring for people is most important to me because I love building a relationship with people, I love helping out around the house, I'm a very big fan of helping with their health, and building a new love like no other! I have good skills including: childhood education training, the physical ability to take care of children, patience, organization, and good English
