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.

I love being a sitter because spending time with kids always brightens my day. I enjoy seeing how curious and creative they are and love being part of their learning and growth. It’s so rewarding to help families feel comfortable knowing their children are in good hands. I’ve been caring for kids since I was about 10 years old, starting out by helping at a daycare. Since then, I’ve worked with children of all ages, from infants to preschoolers, and have supported kids with different needs, including autism and selective mutism. I also work in early childhood education, so I have lots of hands-on experience with routines, playtime, and learning activities. I’m currently studying Early Childhood Education and am trained in CPR and First Aid. I’m great at keeping things calm and positive, even when kids are having a tough day. I love planning fun, creative activities and helping each child feel safe, supported, and confident.
