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.

Ashley watched our 20 month old and was great! She is a great communicator, punctual and attentive. She kept us updated while we were out and wasn’t afraid to ask questions if needed which we appreciated. We would recommend her and use her again!

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.

I’m looking for a nanny position where I can be a consistent, reliable part of a child’s day, not just a babysitter. I really enjoy working with kids and keeping them engaged, whether that’s playing, helping with homework, or sticking to their routine. I’m currently in college working toward my associate’s degree in general education with a focus in science. I’m patient, responsible, and easy to communicate with, and I’m hoping to find a family I can build a good relationship with.

I’ve been babysitting since I was 16 but now I don’t do it as much due me being in college and working. I love to babysit I find it fairly easy most times and it’s easy money for me. I have fun with the kids and love it.

I love being a sitter because caring for children brings me joy—I enjoy helping them learn, play, and feel safe while their parents are away. I have experience babysitting for families with children of different ages, from toddlers to school-aged kids, and I’ve also helped with homework, bedtime routines, and fun activities. My skills include CPR and First Aid training, strong communication, and a patient, nurturing approach.

Hello! I have had experience with children mainly from caring for my younger siblings, babysitting children of family friends and teachers, numerous experiences in summer camp counselling for ages from Pre-K to high school, and tutoring! I love being a sitter because it feels like I'm a part of the family and growing alongside the kids I care for. I love listening and engaging in their interests and passions, as well as teaching them values that allow them to give back (no matter how old they are) and be kind and compassionate towards those around them.
