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.

Hi, I’m Lilly! I’ve been doing paid babysitting jobs since age 12 and have babysat all ages between 3 months and 12 years old! Because of this, I’m very familiar with changing diapers, teaching manners, potty training, and adapting to your child’s schedule. I love seeing kids creative minds at work! I also have 2+ years of experience babysitting twins. In addition to babysitting I would also be willing to help with homework and chores, do light housekeeping like sweeping, vacuuming, picking up toys, and wiping off counters if that’s something you may need. Feel free to message me if you have questions or if I sound like a good fit for your family!
