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’m a newly empty nesting mom from Kalamazoo and recently settled in Spring Lake. While raising my 3 kids, I did licensed daycare out of my home for over 5 years. After that I taught early childhood music ages newborn - 6 years loving the connection made between the families and their adorable children. I absolutely love babies and all ages of kids and look forward to helping busy parents with any needs they have. I drive a safe vehicle if transporting kids is a need or running errands. I’m very flexible with my time and look forward to meeting with you and your family!
