Q: What’s the difference between a babysitter and a nanny?

Babysitters and nannies share the same primary responsibility of providing safe and enriching care for your child, but there are a few differences between them. Babysitters are typically hired for occasional work on an irregular schedule. If you’re looking for last-minute care for date night, or the occasional few hours after school, a babysitter is a great option. Nannies, on the other hand, 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. 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 babysitters interact with my child?

Babysitters 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, babysitters on Sittercity are prepared to engage them in a nurturing way.

I enjoy babysitting because I love interacting with children and getting to know their unique personalities. Growing up with six siblings has given me a lot of experience and patience, as well as an understanding of how different each child can be. Most of my babysitting experience comes from caring for family, but it has been valuable—I am comfortable watching up to three or four children at a time. In addition to childcare, I am able to assist with household tasks such as laundry, dishes, cleaning, meal and snack preparation, and keeping the home organized. I enjoy engaging children through play, whether that’s outdoor activities, crafts, or watching a fun movie together with popcorn. If needed, I am also capable of safely driving children to run errands, attend activities, or complete other tasks.
