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, my name is Kameel and I'm 20 years old. Growing up, I did a lot of babysitting and I even volunteered at a daycare for a year, so, I have a lot of experience working with kids of all ages. When babysitting, I think it's very important to get to know and form a connection with the kids as opposed to just supervising them. I like to do arts and crafts or read books to keep them engaged and entertained. I am also comfortable with homework help, light housekeeping, and meal prep. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns!

I am a stay at home mom to a beautiful 15 month old girl. She loves other children so childcare has been a great way for me to make money and still be able to care for her. My home is set up both outside and inside for safe play so I can watch children at my house or yours. While it is expired now I have taken cpr classes and have experience with children of all ages. I can of course provide excellent references upon request.
