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.

I started babysitting because of my little sister. My dad fell ill when I was just thirteen so I decided to take my sister under my wing. She had an undiagnosed learning disability at the time and the progress I could see I was making with her was too rewarding to quit. I wanted to help kids like I’ve helped her, so that’s what I did, and I love my job for that reason. I love working in childcare because I value children’s early education and enjoy getting to help them learn to properly handle their emotions. Childcare is a wonderful field to be in.
