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.

Hannah has done a tremendous job helping care for my 3 year old daughter. She made arrangements to be available for an entire work-week when preschool was closed for summer break. She is always right on time, has great energy, helps with additional household items, and would recommend her for any babysitting job.

I have been caring for children since I was thirteen years old. I began by working in my local church’s nursery, and then started sitting for families from the church independently. Throughout high school, I sat for 4 families consistently. I was a nanny to two twins for three+ years which included picking up from school, driving around, feeding, etc. Also, I am currently employed at KidsLife as the infant educator/center floater.
