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've always been super passionate on nurturing the growth and development of children, and I just absolutely love babies and kids of all ages! My caring nature and friendly disposition make me an ideal caregiver. With the diverse experience that I have, I'm comfortable looking after up to two children, ranging from infants to preteens. I have years of experience in various circumstances and am always willing to be flexible to fit your families needs! I am also bilingual and can effectively communicate in english and spanish. I believe in open communication with parents, providing regular updates on their child's day and promptly addressing any concerns. I follow the parents' lead in terms of household rules and discipline. Above all else, I will always follow your families rules and expectations and always be sure to go above and beyond for your children. I will always treat the children in my care like family! I enjoy engaging children in various activities, including outdoor sports, board games, and educational games that promote learning. I also love to teach children new skills, such as swimming. I will be a sophomore at Reedley college in the Pete P. Peters’s Honors program pursing a degree in animal science . My dream job is an animal nutritionist, and that is the goal I am currently working towards! I have my CNA license and am CPR certified as well. I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I have a car and am very comfortable with any pets. I have two fur babies of my own and I am an animal lover of all different species! I'm dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for children, and I look forward to the opportunity to care for your family. Feel free to ask for the public link to my resume to read up on all of my qualifications! :)

I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about Natalie. From the moment she walked through our door, she has been the sweetest, most caring, and genuinely loving person to ever care for our children. Her warmth and gentle nature made our kids feel instantly comfortable and safe. She doesn’t just watch over them—she engages, teaches, plays, and nurtures. Whether it’s reading stories, doing crafts, or just being there with a comforting hug, she gives her full heart to everything she does. It’s such a relief as a parent to know that your children are not only safe but happy when you’re away. She’s incredibly trustworthy, responsible, and thoughtful—someone you can truly rely on. It gives me peace of mind knowing that when I leave the house, my kids are in the best possible hands. Natalie is a true gem, and we feel so lucky to have found her. (I refer her to anyone I can!!!) If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your children like family, look no further. She’s simply the best.

Hello, my name is Alyssa and I have been working with children for almost a decade. I have worked in the school, home, and public setting. I have spent 7 years working in special education and with autistic kiddos. Before moving back to the central valley, I was a nanny to two autistic children for a year. I am currently a part time substitute teacher. I have my B.S. in speech and hearing sciences and aspire to become an SLP one day. My typical availability is T-Th but I have some room for flexibility.
