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. Wherever your child's interests lie, nannies on Sittercity can engage them in a nurturing way.

Last-minute, school and tutoring, date nights—find the right babysitters for you.

I have 5/6 years in experience with working with kids with autism / disability. I am an aunt of 2 autistic boys so I have quite a bit of experience and 1 on 1 time with them. I also do teaching 1 on 1 with things such as numbers, shapes, letters, reading, writing etc! I am one of those sitters that do not believe in screen time, I like for the kids to be present and engaging in motor skills and learning activities! (Screen time could be okay if parent is okay with it, I personally just do not interact with it as much.) I also am a very cleanly person so house chores can be done , grocery runs and anything else needed!

Hi, my name is Alexis and I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old. I love spending time with kids, it’s always been fun to me. I grew up with 8 other siblings so I have a lot of experience with different ages. As I grew up people started asking me to watch their kids and once I did I kept getting called the “baby whisper” or just got the same compliment of the amazement of how well I was with kids. I not only am here to help with your kids but I love to play games and engage with them so they aren’t always infront of a screen. I can cook, clean, drive, and organize/declutter. Whatever you need I am here! Feel free to reach out with any questions!
