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.

AIDA O.

We’ve been incredibly lucky to have her care for our son since he was 5 months old. She is punctual, reliable, professional, and so loving and patient with him. She always kept him engaged by singing songs and caring for him like family, and she even helped with his laundry and folding clothes without ever being asked. She was also so flexible whenever we needed extra time or last-minute help. Truly anyone would be lucky to have her as a babysitter — our only complaint is that she’s so amazing, she’s always booked and hard to schedule!

I have always love working with children. I started babysitting early on as a teenager. It wasn't until after becoming a mother I knew I wanted to become a teacher. My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD as a child and struggled in school. During grade school many of my daughters teachers lacked the information needed to help her manage her ADHD in the classroom. I graduated in 2022 with an AA in Early Childhood Education and an AA in American Sign Language. I want to make a difference as a teacher and be a positive role model to all children. I am CPR and first aid certified.

Dani provided childcare support for me over a long weekend - helping to entertain and care for 8 children between the ages of 9 months and 5 years. She was incredibly personable, helpful and proactive, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for childcare. We traveled to Palm Springs with a few other families to celebrate my husband's 40th birthday and asked Dani to help care for the kids while the adults cooked and socialized. She had a great attitude and was very engaging with the kids - even bringing activities such as crafts supplies of her own.

Hi Families! Today, my goal is to help you feel confident in choosing me as your caregiver. I specialize in infant and toddler care but I have worked with children of all ages as a preschool teacher and after school care teacher for over 20 years. I know how hard it is to go to work and leave your baby in someone else's arms. I had to do it when I was a brand new mommy and I truly understand how important it is for you to know that your child is in good hands. I have been lucky enough to be a stay at home for several years, but now that my two children are not quite so small anymore, I would love to share my time with your little one. I would love to send updates and pictures to you throughout the day so you can get a glimpse into your baby's day. If you would like, I would provide art time and fun age-appropriate activities as well. If this sounds like what you are looking for, I would love to meet you.

Hi! I currently don’t have any reviews as I’m new to the app. I love being a sitter because I enjoy helping people, working with kids and I’d love to support families by providing reliable care. Kids have always held a special place in my heart, and I have a lot of hands-on experience caring for children. I’ve taken care of my younger siblings since they were babies, and I’ve also assisted with childcare at church, which has given me experience with different age groups. I am CPR certified, patient, and responsible, and I always strive to create a safe and positive environment for kids.

I am a 21 year old woman currently working the night shift for an elderly woman whom I have been caring for about 5 years now. I do not have kids of my own but I have a 6 year old niece and a 10 year old nephew who I am very close with as we live together and spend a lot of time with eachother. I also volunteer at their elementary school in my free time as my niece was having a hard time being away from her mom. I have much experience with children, adult and elderly behaviors and needs. My brother is 15 years old and is Autistic along with Intellectual disabilities including short tempered behaviors and high anxiety. I am very mindful of different wants and needs of specific individuals thanks to my experience. I am very patient and understanding. I am kind, caring and thoughtful but most importantly I am trustworthy and honest. I am a safe person for those in need of care which I know is unfortunately difficult to find nowadays.
