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 have been a mother of two children and raised them to be solid citizens of this country and established a work ethic that I deemed important in the development of other family’s children. I have love and compassion for these children which my references will fully vouch for. It is my desire to teach, coach, and train them, giving my heart and soul to further expand these children’s hopes and dreams! I realize my responsibility to be more than just a “sitter” because I am an extension of the family and thus, take great care in their nurturing and education.

We could not have asked for a better sitter on our trip out to Colorado than Valerie! We were in town for a wedding, and Valerie was able to watch our 21 month old daughter both Friday night for the rehearsal dinner and Saturday evening for the wedding. Communication was great, with a phone call several weeks in advance, and then good follow-ups and confirmations leading up to the weekend. Our daughter did not make things easy at the start of either night (she had some separation anxiety with us leaving), but Valerie was extremely patient and kind with her, and was eventually able to win her over into a better mood where they could play for the rest of the evening before bedtime. Valerie even brought over some books for her on the 2nd night, which was incredibly thoughtful and kind! Overall was a great experience - would highly recommend Valerie and would definitely work with her again if we’re ever back in the area!

Mrs. Joy was an excellent sitter for my two boys ages 11 and 5. She cleaned behind them, played, and read with them. She gave my older one the independent space he needed during her evening sitting while keeping my youngest safe, happy, and entertained. We will definitely call on her again!

Pimm has been the absolute best nanny we could have asked for. I'm writing this review as Pimm's current full-time employer. We have had the pleasure of working with Pimm for the last two years and are so sad to be losing her in a week (she has moved since we originally started working together and the commute is a beast). We welcomed Pimm into our home with our eldest when he was 7 months old, during the pandemic - She paid careful attention to detail and seamlessly integrated into the operations of our house. More importantly, our son fell in love with her - They are two peas in a pod. He talks about her constantly and repeats cute, little phrases they say throughout the day. When Pimm walks in the door, he lights up! It's been so sweet to see their relationship grow. Pimm has taught him so many things - ABCs, numbers, simple sign language...and how to say thank you in Thai. She knows all of his favorite things and makes sure he is perfectly cared for. We now have another kiddo in the family (9.5 months) and Pimm cares for him as much as she does the eldest. Each day she leaves us with meticulous notes about the happenings of the day as well as any hiccups that we should be aware of. As Pimm moves onto her next role, we know it is not goodbye but see you later - Our relationship will continue. If you are looking for a nanny who you can wholeheartedly trust and rely on, Pimm is your gal. She is a true professional and she's perfected her craft. Pimm, we will miss you dearly.

Hi there! My name is Bella, and I’m a dependable, caring, and patient caregiver with a strong background in both healthcare and child care. I’ve been babysitting for 7+ years, caring for children ranging from children to pre-teens, and I truly love being a supportive, positive presence in their lives. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, preparing meals, or managing bedtime routines, I strive to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. In addition to hands-on babysitting experience, I have a background in healthcare and am certified in CPR and First Aid — so safety and attentiveness are always top priorities for me. I became a caregiver because I genuinely enjoy helping others, and working with children brings me so much joy. I’m great at staying calm under pressure, building trust with both kids and parents, and creating routines that work for everyone. If you're looking for a sitter who’s reliable, attentive, and loves kids, I’d love to connect!
