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.

Hi! My name is Angel. I am a 24 years old. I currently work full time as a RBT and I have a Bachelor’s degree in psychology. I have worked as an occasional/part-time babysitter for over 5 years, during which I was responsible for the care and safety of children ages 0 to 12 years old. I have successful experience working with both children and adults with disabilities. I would like to work in the field of childcare as it aligns with my chosen career path. I love children and I am passionate about being a good role model and a helping hand for those who need it. I am hoping to become an occasional or part time babysitter to not only gain more experience working with children but to also work in a career field that I love and find to be a rewarding experience.
