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.

Q: How do nannies interact with my child?

Nannies 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.

I love being a babysitter because I absolutely adore children and love being around them! I have babysat on and off for two years for children of all ages. I am a hard worker, responsible, active, present, reliable, have no criminal background, was top of my class in high school, and am attending Southeastern University in the Fall. I am in the middle of getting my first aid and CPR certification. My favorite thing about working and babysitting is knowing that I am helping or giving the parents a break from all of the hard work they do on a day-to-day basis.
