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.

Q: How do nannies interact with my child?

Nannies 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, nannies on Sittercity can engage them in a nurturing way.

Last-minute, school and tutoring, date nights—find the right babysitters for you.

I am a very energetic and nurturing nanny! I helped raise my two little sisters and began babysitting and nannying when I was 14. I am a medic in the national guard, an RN at Piedmont, and I am BLS, AED, and CPR certified. I am currently a nurse and not ready to have kids of my own yet, which is why I am so passionate about babysitting and nannying!

Hello! My name is Amanda R and I am a 31 year old graduate student. I have a love and passion for children of all ages, and thoroughly enjoy what I do. I love to play with kids in a fun, nurturing, academically stimilating and structured enviroment. I love to be outdoors and let kids be kids. Television is NOT an acceptable means for childcare for me! I have had a lot of interest and as much as I would love to work with you, I am currently not available. I have every other Friday off and would love to fill in that time, and am looking for a few families to have on rotation for date night or weekend care. If this interests you, please message me and I would love to talk to you. :)

I might be young still but I have dreamed of having my own children since I was in Elementary school. I have babysat children my whole life. I worked at an I’m home daycare for several months while watching 3 other children full time.
