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.

Hello, my name Is Micah and I’ve been caring for children for the majority of my life. When I was 5 years old, my brother had his first son, and by the time I was 10 I was babysitting him (with adult supervision, of course). When I turned 12, my sister had her first daughter and as soon as she went back to work after maternity leave, I was primary caretaker of her infant until she was 2 years old. While in high school, I was one of the childcare workers at my local church and would watch children from the ages of 2-9 for a few hours a week during Wednesday and Sunday church services. Once I graduated high school in 2021, I started nannying for my little cousin, Declan, from the ages of 8-10 before I moved here to Virginia.
