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! I’m the reliable neighbor who can babysit whenever parents need a date night or some extra help. I have experience caring for kids over the past few years and know how to keep them safe, happy, and entertained. I love planning fun activities, helping with homework, and making sure routines like meals and bedtime go smoothly. I’m patient, caring, and treat every child like family. Right now I’m in school, so my availability is limited, but I’m happy to help whenever I can. After I finish high school this May, I’ll have a flexible schedule and can babysit even more often!

Hi, my name is Savannah and I'm 23 years old. I'm a very caring and creative person. I have many years of experience in childcare due to my mom being a single mother most of my childhood. I would help her take care of my younger siblings while she was working. My siblings are currently 21, 19, 11 and 10-year-olds, so I've had great amount of experience. I also have 2 years of nanny experience with CARE. I was with 2 families for almost 1 year. I'm currently pursuing an Elementary Education degree at the University of Houston. 3 years ago, I was working as a Preschool Teacher while I was living in Wyoming. Although I only worked there for a little while, I did learn a huge amount from my Preschool Director and my coworkers. I know I'm not a professional as of yet but I will do amazing with your children, if you give me the chance. Thank you!

I’m a 20-Year-Old High School Graduate who has been working with kids since I was 13, between having young sisters and working for free at a church nursery! I also did do paid babysitting for a little over a year a few years back and had a great experience! I primarily have experience with ages 2-8, but would work with older if offered. I really enjoy babysitting because taking care of kids just comes really naturally to me! I keep them engaged and active whilst also helping them learn new things all the while they are still having fun! I love to clean and I really love to cook so I can ensure your kiddos are still getting home cooked meals even in your absence I’ve also worked a lot with special needs kids primarily ASD, OCD and ADHD. I’m available all day Monday-Saturday so my schedule is very open! If that sounds good to you than feel free to message me to discuss further!
