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.

Madison was incredible! She was available from 10am- 7pm to watch our son while we were visiting from Michigan. To be able to find a reliable sitter out of state while visiting family was comforting. She communicated when she was on her way. We had a phone call prior and she provided references to ease my nerves. She played outside with my son all day and got him a bath as we were getting home. Will be keeping her contact info for our future visits!

Hello everyone! I am a Mom of 3 and a new Grandmother to one little special boy whom I adore! I am currently home and I take care of our Airbnb and our daughters Airbnb, but looking to fill some time with doing something I’ve always loved, caring for babies, and kids. I consider myself very active, love being outdoors, playing games, entertaining, love activities with kids! Not looking to spend my days at a job I don’t enjoy, for me… babysitting would be rewarding and fun!

Kelly has been great for our three kiddos. She's got the fun and caring heart of a true grandma. The kids absolutely love her and ask every day when she's scheduled to come back again. We love how interactive she is and how much energy and time she puts into creating activities for them instead of just relying on screens or technology. She has given us much needed help and we have been very pleased with how our kids have taken to her. They truly do love her, and I think it's mutual.

Hi! I’m Kaliese, a responsible college student graduating in December with experience caring for children of all ages, especially babies and toddlers. As the oldest of five siblings ranging from 4–17, I’ve had years of hands-on experience helping care for younger children. I also volunteered in a NICU, which gave me additional experience around newborns and families in a healthcare setting. I’m BLS certified and trained in First Aid and CPR, and I have my own reliable transportation. I love being a sitter because I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and comfortable environment where children can feel supported and parents can feel confident knowing their little ones are in good hands. I’m happy to help with playtime, meals, homework, routines, and whatever else your family may need. Feel free to reach out, I’d love to get to know your family!

Since the age of sixteen, I have been engaged in the profession of babysitting. However, due to my current commitments as a college student and a working individual, I have reduced my involvement in this field. Despite this, I continue to derive immense satisfaction from babysitting. I find it to be a relatively straightforward and enjoyable endeavor, providing me with a source of income while simultaneously fostering positive interactions with the children in my care.
