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 there! My name is Moriah, I am 26 years old and I live in Rosenberg, TX. I have always had a soft spot for children, but even more so now after having my daughter in 2019. I grew up babysitting for family friends/neighbors, then babysat in high school for extra cash. I stayed at home full time with my daughter until she was almost two, I loved it so much but became ready to start working again. I am happy to help with running errands, pickups/drop offs, homework, light cleaning, meal preparation, bedtime prep, etc. I am available to work part time/full time during the day, occasional nights. I have my own car, I’m a nonsmoker and I love all animals. I would really appreciate a set schedule if it is going to be on a regular basis. I have loved working with Sitter City so far and the families that I have met. I hope that I can be of assistance to you! 😊 (References available upon request)
