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.

Hi! My name is Addie and I am a dependable and caring sitter currently studying nursing, with a big heart for kids and families. I’ve grown up around children and have 6 amazing nieces and nephews ranging from 6 months to 16 years old, so I’m very comfortable caring for a wide range of ages (and even managing multiple kiddos at once!). I have experience with infant care, bedtime routines, homework help, and creating fun, screen-free activities that keep kids happy and engaged. I’m also comfortable with pet care, light tidying, and always keep open communication with parents so everyone feels supported. Whether it’s bottles, bedtime stories, or balancing busy schedules, I bring patience, energy, and a genuine love for helping families. P.S. I forgot to mention you should warn your kids I am a professional hide and seeker.

Hello wonderful reader! My name is Bronwyn, I am 20 years old from rural Colorado and I am an experienced nanny and baby sitter. A little about me, I am a born care giver. Currently I am in school to become a funeral director and I have a background in theater and film. I play the violin and some guitar and piano (I would love to pass this on to the littles) and am in the process of becoming fluent in French and Sign Language (another skill I am happy to share!). I have experience in just about every background of work, I've had a job since I was 12 years old. I am hard working, efficient, and quick on my feet. I am generous, kind, but grounded when working with kids. People who know me would describe me as level headed, creative, and compassionate. Coming from a farm background you can be sure that I don't back down from a challenge and I am up for whatever life throws my way. As a nanny for your family I promise to be flexible, available, and a benevolent presence to make your life easier.
