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 have 4 children and came all the way from out of town and Rebekah watched out group of munchkins so we could have parents night out. She was professional, flexible, on time and the kids loved her. She cared for our wild kids and did a great job! Glad we found her!

Skyler was extremely flexible and able to watch our 8 month old daughter while we were in Destin for work. She was punctual, left the room clean and orderly, and entertained our infant in a small hotel room for long stretches. We will definitely use her in the future.
