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.

We can’t say enough good things about Shawna! She was so patient and attentive with our toddler from the very beginning. As first time parents she showed us so much support by remaining flexible with our busy work schedules and understanding of our parenting style! Thank you Shawna!

Lydia has been caring for our daughter for almost 6 months; she started watching her when she was 6 months and our little girl just turned 1. We also have a 3 year old son and we have worked with a few nannies in the past for his care. Lydia is by far the best nanny we have ever worked with. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and punctual. Our daughter has really come to love Lydia (as have we!), and we can see how much Lydia has taught her in these past several months. One of Lydia’s greatest strengths is her professionalism & extensive background in childcare – she was great about coming to us with suggestions around eating/sleeping/play, and would always check with us first to make any changes in routine. Lydia did a great job providing appropriate developmental activities for our daughter, as well as taking her out on walks to the park or to a music class nearby. She did a great job documenting nap and meal times. Lydia also kept the house tidy, organizing any toys they played with throughout the day or cleaning up bowls/plates that they used. We are really going to miss working with Lydia; the only reason we are parting ways is because we are moving to the other side of town.

I’m a 22 year old who loves being with and around kids! Currently, I’m a college student but I practiced early childhood teaching for about two years between studying. I recently left teaching to finish my bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and Theology. First Aid and CPR were a part of my teacher training for kids ages 0-8. I’ve grown a great sense of understanding and patience for little ones but I’m looking to build connections and grow in experience with children of all ages.

Hi! My name is Katherynne. I’m a loving, reliable, and experienced caregiver — and also a proud mom of three! I’ve been caring for children for over 8 years, both professionally and personally. I believe in nurturing children with patience, creativity, and respect. I’m currently caring for my 1 year old baby, and I’m looking for a family who would be open to me bringing him along. I love being a nanny because I get to support children’s growth and be part of their everyday learning moments. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and school-age children. I can help with meals, diapers, naps, playtime, and light housekeeping. I’d love the chance to support your family with care that feels like home. Looking forward to connecting!

as the oldest child of three, I have always been around kids and have helped in raising my younger siblings. When my uncle had kids in 2013, I was very involved in their babysitting care and have helped care for them on the weekends for the last 10 years. I love working with kids and seeing them not only brings me joy, but I plan to use these opportunities to better understand how I can gain this exposure to help me on my path to becoming a pediatrician.

Hii families! My name is Quiyara, I am a sophomore at the University of Colorado at Boulder studying Integrative Physiology, a declared study of pre-PA, and a minor in philosophy. I am currently in the process of obtaining my certification as a postpartum doula, hoping to work with mamas, infants and families in the home or hospital setting. As for my certification, I am looking for a family who is willing to allow me to assist with 12 hours of postpartum care. This will be volunteer-only. I am not asking for any pay, only the opportunity to work with you and your baby to not only gain the hours that I need for my credentials but to start building a bond with your baby. Although I am young, I know that becoming a sitter will help me grow more individually with experience and also create more bonds with parents and children over time. I have years of experience in babysitting siblings and younger cousins (unprofessionally), and I two professional care experiences (able to provide references). I am also Child and Youth Mentor with Pikes Peak Respite Services and I volunteer at the Children Hospital in Aurora CO. For my future plans, I am continuing my studies at CU Boulder and plan to go to PA school and become a physician assistant in Obstetrics and Gynecology. I'm passionate about becoming an OBGYN PA because 1) my desire to help women through the most vulnerable/emotional period of their lives, 2) I believe all women of every background should be properly education on their reproductive health and sexual health and 3) seeing new life being brought into this world and being able to help parents upbring their children into great human beings brings me great joy!
