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.

Hi! My name is Diana and I am an RN, mother and grandmother seeking to fill some sitting positions in the Texas Hill Country. In my spare time I enjoy reading and writing, gardening, cooking adventures and long walks. Caretaking has always been my favorite part of being a nurse. I love to tend to babies, children and elders and animals. My strengths are anticipating needs and leaving places better than when I found them. I'm looking forward to building relationships in the community and becoming self-employed offering home management, sitting and companion care services. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. References available upon request..
