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.

Hannah has done a tremendous job helping care for my 3 year old daughter. She made arrangements to be available for an entire work-week when preschool was closed for summer break. She is always right on time, has great energy, helps with additional household items, and would recommend her for any babysitting job.

I have been caring for children since I was thirteen years old. I began by working in my local church’s nursery, and then started sitting for families from the church independently. Throughout high school, I sat for 4 families consistently. I was a nanny to two twins for three+ years which included picking up from school, driving around, feeding, etc. Also, I am currently employed at KidsLife as the infant educator/center floater.
