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 love being a sitter because I can play games, go outside and get sunshine, and come up with fun activities for children that don’t have a parent that can be there. I was a nanny for three years, worked in public schools, babysit and work with children at church. I have been cpr certified.

Hi! I'm Brenae. In the beginning of 2025 I got the opportunity to begin babysitting a child of one of my husbands clients. I'm a stay at home mom with 4 children of my own that I've homeschooled for 5 years, so they have been home with me while caring for her and it's just become something our family looks forward to every week. Because of that, I would love to extend our care to other families that may need help with their littles. Before that we also fostered for two years and loved having the opportunity to care for other littles through their reunification process. I'm currently babysitting Monday - Friday in my home and would love the opportunity to meet your family and be your go to week day sitter!

I am a 53 yr old Grammy of 8. I keep 4 of them after school and some during school breaks. I also have a family I have been with for over 7yrs. I started when the boy was 4 wks old and they now have a new baby I take care of 1 day per week. My mom had a home daycare so I have been taking care of children most of my life. I enjoy getting to know the kids and giving them someone else to love them. I believe children need many different people in their lives who love them and want the best for them. The 7 yr old still tells me he needs me to “rock a bye” him. I love that they are comfortable with me. They beg me to stay longer and I try to go to their school activities. The more people children have them who love them the better off they are and they will feel they always have someone they can talk to. These children have become like extra grandkids to me. I love knowing I have something I can do to help families who need someone to care for their children. I was raised close to my extended family and never had to leave my kids with an outsider and I want those that choose me to keep their children to feel like they have someone they can depend on who loves their children like their own
