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.

My major is human development, and I plan on becoming an occupational therapist in the future, hopefully working with kids. I really love being around children and taking care of them, and I enjoy getting to know them and interacting with them. I want to feel more comfortable working with kids as I move forward in my career, and babysitting is a great opportunity for me to gain that experience. I also have a lot of experience working with kids, including working as a camp counselor at a kids’ camp, and I’ve babysat for multiple families, which helped me build strong communication, responsibility, and caregiving skills.
