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.

Hi! My name is Sky, I am a 25 year old college student currently working part-time as a nanny during the week. I’m available for additional part-time babysitting alongside my regular position. I have over 3 years of nanny experience and have worked with children ages 6 months to 8 years old. I’m confident caring for infants, toddlers, and elementary-aged children. I love being active and intentional with the kids I care for — whether that’s park days, swimming, hikes, walks, crafts at home, reading time, or creative games. I’ve also worked with families who prefer a quieter, more structured environment, and I’m very adaptable to each household’s rhythm and expectations. My goal is always to create a safe, engaging, and supportive environment while respecting each family’s unique needs and values. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely love working with children. I’d love to connect and see if I’d be a good fit for your family!
