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.

My name is Cristy. I have worked in the schools system for 15+years but before that I worked at a daycare for 7 years. I have a daughter that is 24, graduated college, and moved away. I do not have a 9-5 job and I miss being around babies! I have experience in planning learning activities for little ones to cooking for them to nourish their little bodies. Contrary to beliefs, I love doing laundry. So a little light house cleaning is not a problem!
