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.

Vanessa was a phenomenal nanny. We have a son that reacts severely to viruses so he can’t be in a daycare. She was our nanny for half a year and took the utmost care of him. There are some nannies that just can’t keep up with our son or tolerate his boy energy, Vanessa matches his energy as an adult and he was laughing and giggling with her every day. They still to this day have a special bond and he gets excited and thrilled whenever he sees her. The only reason why she couldn’t be his nanny anymore was due to an injury she got that has now healed. We absolutely love Vanessa. She lightened the room every single day with her positivity and is very reliable as a professional nanny. Thank you, Vanessa!
