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.

Bottom line up front, Gabriela is absolutely amazing. She was our first nanny for our son and watched while my wife and I worked full time. She watched him from when our son was about 4 months until he was about a year old. She was always engaged with him and keeping him occupied. We had total peace of mind leaving our son with her, and he was always excited to see her. Unfortunately we had to move away, but we cannot say enough good things about Gabby! You would be truly lucky to have her watch your child/children!

Hi, my name is Kaitlyn & I live in Carthage, NC. I have 4 golden doodles and 2 sweet nieces that I treat as my own babies. I have experience with children ages newborn - 5 years old, as well as working with children with special needs such as autism and other disabilities. I’ve been in the daycare/nanny environment since I was 16. I enjoy my time spent with children, especially helping them grow and succeed in their own unique ways. I’m currently going to school at FTCC to earn a degree in Speech Pathology, but this does not affect my availability, as my classes are online. If you think I’d be a good fit for your family, please reach out. I look forward to working with you & your family!

Johayra S.

We were so grateful to have Brenna care for our 10-month-old son, even if it was only for a few months. The way she loved and nurtured him was truly special, and he adored her from the very start. Every morning, his face would light up with excitement when she arrived, and she'd spend the day playing with him, inventing new games, and making him laugh until his little belly ached. By the time she left, she felt like part of the family. We can't recommend Brenna highly enough - she's a gem, and we feel so lucky to have had her in our lives.

We are all incredibly blessed that our paths crossed with Krystena and her family! Krystena and her family are absolutely amazing! She watches our sons during the school year and we absolutely adore her and her family! Our boys are always asking to go over to her place even when I’m not at work and with the new school year starting they’re eager to be back at Mrs Krystena’s!
