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'm a recent college graduate with a BA in Spanish Linguistics. I love hanging out with kids and enjoy helping them grow their little minds. With my Spanish major, it allows me to help children learn a new language as well. I look forward to the potential of babysitting for your family.

Laura is an excellent babysitter. She began sitting for my son when he was 3 mo., staying with him all day while I was at work. As a first-time mom, I was nervous about finding a babysitter I would be comfortable with, but I found that in Laura. She is very calm, responsible, and playful and silly with my son. He loves her! She is also very responsive to the individual needs and style of both my son and our home- I always feel like he is getting the best care when he is with her. I would highly recommend Laura to other moms.

Hello my name is ConnieJean AKA Ceej. I am a reliable, honest, and a fun grandmother of three. I enjoy children, animals and nature. Please take a look at my reviews. I have had the Covid vaccine and five boosters. I am only able to work in a vaccinated household. Before Covid, I babysat for two families on a regular base. I babysat for their date nights and other occasions. I also have done a lot of babysitting for vacationers during the winter seasons. For one family I started watching their twin girls when they were six months old until they were eleven. They are now fourteen and I just had lunch with them and their mom a few weeks ago. I cared for the girls on date nights and they had been over to my house several times for sleepovers, I would also stay at their house overnight from time to time. I was sitting for another family for five years when Covid hit. When I started their son was eight months old. I cared for him one day a week until they put him into preschool. They had another baby boy that I started caring for a couple of months after he was born. They have four children that I sat with several times a month in the evening for their date nights. I always cleaned up after lunch or dinner and picked up the toys. I became the adopted grandmother. Please do not hesitate to contact me through Sittercity, I usually respond within a day. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! Regards, Conniejean

We were in Palm Springs for a no-kids-allowed wedding and found Conniejean’s profile while searching for a local sitter—and we’re so glad we did! Like any parent, I was nervous about leaving our 16-month-old with someone we didn’t know in a new place, but CJ instantly put us at ease. She was warm, communicative, punctual, and really engaged with our daughter, even when she had a tough time adjusting to the new environment. CJ kept us updated throughout the evening, which made all the difference. We’re incredibly grateful and would highly recommend her to any family in need of a trusted sitter!

I have been working with children for 15 years. My first job with children was at a daycare, Seymour Family Childcare. Then, at Desert Recreation District. I currently work for a family Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday with 2 boys ages 2 and 4. I absolutely fell in love with this line of work. I had tried hospitality, insurance and administrative. However none of those made me as happy as working with children. I have worked with ages newborn to 12 years old. Along with childcare, I also provide home cleaning, cooking, errands, pets, etc. Anything you need to run a caring/clean household I can do it. I am fluent in English and Spanish, which does come in handy quite often. I am tidy and timely. I take instruction with ease and I’m glad to take any constructive advice or tips on how to do an even better job. As for my personality, I tend to be on the silly side. Which works out perfect when working with children. I love exploring, learning new things, taking care of my family, and a huge fan of Sci-fi (so of course Star Wars included). I love being a mom however that does not pay the bills so I hope to do the next best thing, which is to be a fun, caring nanny for a lovely family ?

Alissia helped us out with our three high-energy boys during a busy and chaotic extended stay in Palm Springs. She was super proactive, looked for opportunities to support the kids (preemptively getting them fed and staying active) and keep them engaged (with games, activities, conversation). She asked good questions, worked well independently, and communicated very effectively. She was a joy to have with us.

Hello! I am a 30 year old Nurse. I recently moved to the valley to pursue my nursing career. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for kiddos ages newborn to 12 for several years now.
