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.

Needed a sitter for date night. I have two little girls ages 6 and 3. Before date night, we interviewed Daisia, she was very nice and had such a welcoming spirit/personality. Very down to earth and gentle. Date night went really well, we were running behind, but she still accommodated us and arrived early. I’m new to Sittercity, hiring Daisia was my first, but definitely will not be my last . This is very new to us and the girls and I thought I was going to be a nervous wreck, but my girls were so comfortable and open to her. She sent a picture, which gave me more of a peace of mind. She will be #1 pick. I highly recommend hiring her.

Jamaria's background and experience is as good as it gets! Her mom owned a daycare so she has experience with several ages. We did not have the opportunity to hire Jamaria because it turns out, she is allergic to our cat. We were extremely disappointed to learn this her references could not have been more positive. Throughout the hiring process she was prompt and prepared; the cat-less family who hires her will be so lucky to have her. All the best to you and to Jamaria!

I 100% recommend Ava for your babysitting needs. She has been my consistent baby sitter for a couple months now. She’s on time, communicates well regarding scheduling and updates on the kids. She’s also super flexible, I work extremely early in the morning(leaving at 330am) and she has been extremely accommodating to mine and my kids needs!
