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.

Hello there! My name is Marissa, and I love "working" (playing!!) with children! When I was younger, I helped my older sister raise her girls, as she is a single mom. I got to always remain an inner child as I grew, myself. Currently I work with 3 families weekly, along with date night families! I am creative, kind + nurturing, and playful! If you are interested in hiring me, send a message! Thank you, and have a lovely day!

Marissa was an incredible nanny for our son. She was always so playful, engaging, and full of energy—exactly what he needed at this stage of development. She knew how to keep him stimulated with creative activities and meaningful play, and it was clear she genuinely enjoyed spending time with him. Beyond her warmth and enthusiasm, Marissa was also reliable, attentive, and took wonderful care of him. We always felt confident and at ease knowing he was in such great hands.

Hello, I have been babysitting since I have been 13 years old. I currently hold a degree in Elementary Education and ESL. I have babysat children of varying ages and feel comfortable dealing with any age group. I have cared for newborns up to children 16 years of age. I have a multitude of experience dealing with children of varying disabilities as well. I am a capable, kind, hard-working and easy to get along with woman who absolutely loves children. As said before I have my degree in education so background checks are mandatory. All clearances can be presented upon request. Hope to be hearing from you. :)

Dianna only sat for us once so far, but she did spend an evening here with me to learn our bath/bed time ritual. We came home to a neat play area and peacefully sleeping babies! She was punctual and kept us updated with texts throughout the evening. :-)

Hi families! I’m Nicole, an Evergreen resident looking for a wonderful local family to support part-time. After several years as an Executive Assistant, I stepped away from full-time corporate work to support my husband's business. With extra availability in my schedule, I’d love to bring my organizational skills, energy, and love for kids back into a nannying role! I have a previously nannied for two family’s over a couple months between jobs back in 2022. I also spent several years during high school and college teaching youth gymnastics, swim, and tennis lessons to kids. I love staying active, being outdoors, and creating a safe, fun, and structured environment where kids can thrive. As a former EA, you can count on me to be extremely punctual, reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented. Whether it's managing active afternoon schedules, helping with light tidying, or leading fun activities, I’m excited to help simplify your family's routine.

I live in Evergreen. I’m the oldest of 7 children. I started babysitting outside my home at 9 years old. I had my own daycare business a couple of years when I raised my own 2 young children. As my children got older I joined my husband in the family business as a USPS highway contract driver with a split shift schedule which allowed me to nanny 2 children from infancy. I love taking care of children. I’m currently working full time nannying Monday through Friday. I’ve been nannying now for 8+ years. I’m currently employed full-time nannying. I am available to occasionally babysit in the afternoons and evenings on the weekends as well.
