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! I’m a proud mom of three beautiful children, and I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your little ones. That’s why I strive to be the kind of babysitter I would want for my own kids—nurturing, reliable, and patient. With years of hands-on experience as a mother and a preschool teacher, I understand the importance of creating a safe, fun, and loving environment. Whether it’s playtime or helping with routines, my goal is to give your children the same care and attention I give my own.

Hi! My name is Lindy, I love kiddos so much but don't have any of my own. Babysitting has been my ideal job because I get to do something that I love and have more of a one on one setting. I have babysat for families from anywhere between 1-4 kids. I love Jesus and want to do a work for him. I have a desire to take care of people and what better way is there to do it. I can't wait to meet your little ones.

I love watching children, love to share their experiences and bond with them. I enjoy their discoveries and I love to read stories and make up ones too!
