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.

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them.

I am new to babysitting but I’m confident in my abilities. I have 5 siblings of my own 3 sisters and 2 brothers all younger than me. I love them dearly and love being around children and watching them learn new things and grow. I’ve worked at my grandmas daycare for 1 year for free just so I could push myself and get myself in the field more. I am willing to learn new things and I’m always open to correction and feedback!

I’m 19 years old, and I’ve been babysitting and nannying for nearly eight years. Working with children has always been a passion of mine—I genuinely enjoy watching them grow, reach new milestones, and develop their own little personalities. Building strong bonds and meaningful connections with the kids I care for is something I take great pride in. I first started babysitting around 12 or 13 for neighbors, then transitioned into part-time nannying at 15. By the time I was 16–17 and doing virtual schooling, I moved into full-time nannying. Along the way, I earned my Health and Safety certificate and gained additional experience working in daycare settings. I plan to pursue an associate degree in Early Childhood Education because childcare is truly where my heart is. Many of my clients and coworkers have told me I have a natural gift with children and a strong motherly instinct, and I believe that caring for kids is something that genuinely comes naturally to me.
