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 Amy! I am originally from the north suburbs of Chicago and I also have prior experience as a sitter. I grew up with babysitters too and enjoyed being around them so I understand how important it is to be an involved and caring sitter. I also understand how important it is for parents to have time to themselves or attend to other obligations while still wanting their kids to be in good hands. I have a dog and experience caring for other dogs. I’m basic life support (BLS) certified, have a Bachelors of Science degree, and have experience working in healthcare and first aid. I am currently getting my MBA online and working as a substitute teacher. I also have a clean driving record, background, and am drug free.
