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.

Briani was wonderful with my 14 month old! You can tell she is very experienced and loves being around children. She prepared dinner, gave a bath, and put my baby down for bed so my husband and I could enjoy a night out. I would highly recommend her!

Hi! My name is Samantha Siegfried , and I absolutely love working with kids! I’ve been volunteering in the Northrock Church nursery since I was 13, and I also worked at the Concordia Lutheran Church after-school program, where I helped care for children of all ages. I also have nanny experience and am comfortable handling routines, fun activities, and ensuring kids are safe and happy. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I have my own reliable car, so transportation is never a problem.
