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.

Hey there! I’m Eva — I’m 23 and work as a flight attendant, but I only fly a few days a month, so I have lots of time to help families in between. I’ve been around kids my whole life — I started babysitting for neighbors when I was young and even nannied for a family with six kids for a while! I’m CPR and medically trained through my job, have my own car, and love animals (I’ve always had pets). In high school, I worked with special-needs kids and teens and ran an art program for special-needs adults on weekends, which I absolutely loved. I used to work as a professional house cleaner too, so I’m happy to help tidy up or keep things running smoothly while you’re out. I’m dependable, easygoing, and love making sure kids feel safe, happy, and cared for!

Hi, my name is Natalie, I was born and raised in Vail Colorado, but just moved out here to Phoenix. For the last three years I was a nanny for a family with one little boy. I started with him when he was two months old. I am a certified EMT, and I’m in school to become a birth and postpartum doula. I have been working In child care for 14 years starting out as a mother’s helper, I then moved into babysitting and tutoring. In recent years I was also a hospice and home health aide while I lived in Iowa for college. I am starting my doula practice out here but would love to continue nannying/ babysitting while I am finishing my doula school. I have many references if needed! My days with children consist of activities such as parks, walks, bike rides, aquariums, and tailoring to what your child needs! I hope to hear from you!
