Q: What’s the difference between a nanny and a babysitter?

Nannies and babysitters share the same primary responsibility of providing safe and enriching care for your child, but there are a few differences between them. Nannies 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. Babysitters, on the other hand, are typically hired for irregular or occasional work, either full or part-time. If you’re looking for last-minute care for date night, or the occasional few hours after school, a babysitter is a great best option. 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.

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them.

Hello! I’m Shameka and I attach most of my sitting experience to my siblings. I was the oldest in a household of four children growing up, and I’ve been taking care of my 11 year old brother since a toddler. Now that I’m moved out, I’m hoping to find some new opportunities, especially for families that need a tutor. I’ve always been quite adept at schooling and found myself in many teaching and leadership roles during my time in NJROTC. Can’t wait to meet you!
