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 Kaitlyn Green, I'm 22 years old and I study psychology at Sam Houston. I love working with kids and doing activities with them that are age appropriate and focus on using their gross and motor skills for better development. I have received 30 hours of childcare training and my first aid and CPR certifications! I've worked in the daycare setting so i'm comfortable working with children of any age! I like to work on a schedule so there will be planned activities including whatever their needs are ( diaper changes, eating schedule, naps etc.) and can provide a detailed schedule at the end of each shift!I’m looking for a family that I could work with consistently. I’m willing to provide a detailed list of my training hours, my cpr and first aid certificate, and a copy of my driver’s license. I’m also willing to provide some references from my previous families. I currently work part time after school with Alphabest at Justin Elementary but I’m still open to full time positions!

Hi, I’m Allee. I’m 20 and although I may not have a lot of professional experience (about 2 years) I am lucky enough that family and friends along the years have trusted me with their precious kids. I have had experience with a child who had required a little more care due to health conditions. Not only do I love teaching children everyday tasks I also learn from them as I try to understand the world from their innocent eyes. I also do have a license and a car so I am able to come to you and bring the child to anywhere you need! I would love to be considered to help with your little one(s).
