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.

Hello! My name is Vivian and I'm from Allen. I've been working with kids on and off for years, but decided to make it my job as I got older and started college. For the past 8 months I've been a weekly or occasional sitter for almost 10 different families! All of the kids I've worked with are amazing and I'm so happy I've had the chance to work with them. I am CPR and First Aid certified, I can provide certification, and I have plenty of experience with infants as that is my preferred age group!

Diana has been the most wonderful nanny for my two children for seven years, beginning when they were babies. She makes them feel special, which cannot be underestimated in importance to a small child. She is always focused on them and coming up with creative activities centered around what they’re interested in. When they were little babies, she was always attentive to their needs, letting me leave the house 100% worry free. She has been an incredibly important part of both of my children’s lives and adored by our family.

I’ve had a wonderful experience with her. She’s been incredibly helpful and supportive to me as mom, and she’s amazing with the baby—patient, attentive, and genuinely caring. She’s reliable, easy to communicate with, and makes everything feel more manageable. We’re so grateful to have her and would absolutely recommend her to other families.
