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, I’m Priscilla! I’m 18 years old and have years of childcare experience. I started babysitting at 13 and have worked with kids ever since! I’ve served in my church nursery for several years, worked at a children’s daycare this past summer, and I regularly babysit my three nephews, all under the age of 2. I attended one semester of college but decided to sit out and focus on working. Childcare has always been part of my life and I love the opportunity to connect with little minds . Whether it’s engaging in playtime, helping with homework, or maintaining routines, I’m committed to providing loving and dependable care. As a Christian, I value patience, kindness, and responsibility in everything I do. I’d love to connect and see how I can support your family!
