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.

I love being a sitter because it gives me the chance to make families’ lives easier while creating a safe, positive, and fun environment. I truly enjoy building trust, forming connections, and being someone parents or pet owners can rely on. It’s rewarding to know I’m helping support routines, comfort, and care when they need it most.

Good Day, I have been a Mother for 36 years to 4 wonderful Sons. Recently, became a Grandmother to 4 Beautiful Grandchildren. After Babysitting for my Grandchildren, I have decided to become a Caregiver to children after working in Healthcare for the past 15 years. I find so much joy in taking care of children - I do constructive teaching to help children learn a new adventure everyday. This does pave the way for learning. Story telling, identifying objects and shapes colors, numbers, coloring, songs, music listening, etc. You will let me know if your child has any food allergies or if any medication is to be administered on a daily basis. Character References are available. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns that you may have. Also available for Occasion Help Sincerely, Camille

I have always enjoyed caring for children. I started off very young babysitting for my little cousins who are the reason I fell in love with childcare. I enjoy getting crafty, learning, playing games, making snacks, watching movies, and playing outside (when it’s not too hot.) I have experience working in an at home daycare with all ages and in a private daycare with the 2 year olds. I worked for Marion Afterschool Program with school aged children, specifically the kindergartners and 1st graders. I also have experience babysitting sporadically for families for date nights, as well as reoccurring weekday jobs. I am a mom of a 1 year old who I love to bring along with me on weekday/daytime jobs. If my 1 year old tagging along isn’t your cup of tea, I have availability on weekends and weekday nights that I would be happy to come alone for.
