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 am in my mid 20's. I have a lot of experience with children and I am very comfortable looking after them. Growing up, I was the "on-call" babysitter of family and friends. I love spending time with kids of all ages. I am very flexible and creative, and actually enjoy participating in activities with kids! I'm very fun and creative and can always think of engaging activities to do with kids, which do not necessarily require a phone or computer! I love getting kids to be creative and participate in hands-on activities. I mostly have experience with kids between 3 ~ 12 years old, I am very comfortable around kids. I am great with schoolwork and know how to help teach kids the meaning of things with detailed explanations to help them understand it themselves. Kids seem to love spending their time around me as well! When I go over to friends and family houses, I am usually found entertaining the kids! I also love pets (especially cats!!) and spending time with them as well!

I have babysat in the past but mainly for family members since I have a 5 year old brother and would watch him most weekends. This helps with my experience in being a sitter since I have such a young brother I’ve lived with and been around little kids helping me know how to handle situations.

Hi! My names Briana Martinez I’m a 19 year old college student athlete. I’m a responsible, patient, and dependable babysitter with experience caring for children of different ages through my past jobs as a youth coach. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and positive environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. I can help with playtime, homework, bedtime routines, and keeping children engaged with activities instead of just screen time. I have my CPR and first aid training and always prioritize safety while staying calm in stressful situations. People around me describe me as trustworthy, caring, organized, and easy to communicate with. I understand the importance of following parents’ routines and rules while making sure kids have fun and feel cared for. I’m comfortable caring for multiple children at once and can adapt to different personalities and needs. Whether your child loves crafts, games, outdoor activities, or quiet time, I try to make every babysitting experience enjoyable and stress-free for both kids and parents.

Hi my name is Tatiana or Tati for short. I am currently working as an Assistant teacher at the Aspirus YMCA full time Mon-Fri 8am-5pm for about two years now. I really enjoy working with children and helping them reach all the milestones and being apart of their childhood. I have worked with infants through school age. I decided to use this app as a side hustle for any parents who want date nights or just time to themselves.
