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 name is Regan Tischler and I work in children’s services as a social worker. During COVID (2020-2021), I had the opportunity to babysit two separate children from different families. The children were 9 months and 6 months old when I began working with them. I would spend my day being a nanny of the house for one child, while the other had more flexible hours and left me in charge of taking her to and from daycare, while watching the pet and putting breakfast together for the child. I babysat both kids for approximately 2 years. I have worked as a mentor to 3rd-5th grade girls while in college. Over the summer of 2019, I worked at Primrose Daycare in Lewis Center. The age range of children I worked with from day to day was infant to 10 year olds. Some days I worked with 6 week old infants, while others it was second grade students. I grew up with two younger siblings and have a large Italian family on my dads side so I am used to being around tons of kids/babies.
