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 love working with children; their inquisitive attitudes and loads of energy make them a joy to be around. I am responsible and dependable, but also fun and energetic. I’m 35years old and originally from Hilton Head, South Carolina. I moved to Charlotte in 2013 and I love it! I studied Child Development as part of my Clemson University education and have up-to-date CPR and First Aid certifications. With me, your children will have fun, playing and learning rather than just sitting in front of a television set. I have 21 years of experience, even babysitting for one vacationing and regular families back on Hilton Head. I have experience and am comfortable with newborns to young teens; my specialty is toddlers to age six. My hobbies include yoga, skiing, Mt. biking, and reading. I am honored to take care of the children I meet, and have a positive impact on their lives. The variety of families that request my services continues to make each day I work an interesting and fun experience.

I am a current college student majoring in Early Childhood Education. Although I am new to professional babysitting, I have extensive experience caring for children through babysitting my relatives and completing field observation hours for my coursework. I genuinely enjoy building meaningful connections with children, teaching them, and supporting their growth. My preferred age range is typically infants through four years old, but I am open to working with children up to age ten. I also completed CPR training in high school and became certified. In addition to my experience, I bring a strong sense of creativity to childcare—whether through engaging activities, imaginative play, or hands-on learning opportunities designed to support development in fun and meaningful ways.

Hi families! I genuinely love working with children and being a part of their growth and joy. I’ve had several years of babysitting experience with all ages—from infants to school-aged kids—and I always aim to create a fun, safe, and nurturing environment. I’m patient, creative, and reliable, with skills in meal prep, bedtime routines, and keeping little ones engaged with games, crafts, and learning activities. I take pride in being someone parents can trust and kids can feel comfortable with. Looking forward to helping your family!

Hello! I’m new to this state after moving last year and have been trying to find something I know I would absolutely love doing with my time! I grew up basically raising my little sister and since then, I’ve known that child care is something that would never leave me disappointed! I have worked with many kids through babysitting / Nannying for family, Friends of a friend’s and even in a professional setting for a while as well. I worked in a classroom as an assistant teacher for 2 years with the grades 6th - 8th grade (middle school) and I have also worked with day cares, day schools and assistant help as a Pre-K teacher to littles!! I absolutely adore spending time with kiddos and I’m ready to be able to use what I’ve learned and go on a journey and adventure every single day!
