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.

I love eating pizza. I could eat it several times a week without any problems. I like all kinds of stuff on my pizza. Oh yeah, you wanna know about babysitting? Yeah, I can do that too. I prefer eating pizza though. Oh and I love pineapple too. Pineapples and pizza. Oh and kids, I like kids, but not as much as pineapple and pizza. Oh god, did you think I wanted pineapple on my pizza? Heck no! I eat them separately, now and forever. That would be gross. It should probably be illegal. It probably is illegal in countries with better laws.
