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.

Morgan was actually our first nanny experience. Our child is a covid baby with serious attachment issues, but Morgan powered through the separation anxiety and did eventually win her over. We still have her on our list and keep in touch, and call her back whenever we have lapse in coverage. Highly recommend.

We used Safiatou (Mimi) while on vacation and I am so glad we did! She was extremely warm and kind and we quickly felt comfortable leaving our two children (3 and 1) with her after just an initial phone call. Mimi was engaging with the kids, playing and doing activities as well as preparing lunch and getting the kids down for naps. I would definitely use Mimi again if visiting the same area for vacation!

Hello! My name is Amanda R and I am a 31 year old graduate student. I have a love and passion for children of all ages, and thoroughly enjoy what I do. I love to play with kids in a fun, nurturing, academically stimilating and structured enviroment. I love to be outdoors and let kids be kids. Television is NOT an acceptable means for childcare for me! I have had a lot of interest and as much as I would love to work with you, I am currently not available. I have every other Friday off and would love to fill in that time, and am looking for a few families to have on rotation for date night or weekend care. If this interests you, please message me and I would love to talk to you. :)

Hello! My name is Anita, and I’m a momma also! My son attends elementary school, and I am looking for a position that involves caring for kiddos and helping moms (and dads) and their families! I am planning on taking some more classes at CSU in the fall, and am hopeful I can find a family to nanny/babysit for from now until then, hopefully finding a family that may want to work with me even in the fall! I love kids, and my son is seven! I am also an LPN, with an active nursing license until 7/2027. I also have my BLS and can provide references. Thanks for reading this far! Best, Anita

I might be young still but I have dreamed of having my own children since I was in Elementary school. I have babysat children my whole life. I worked at an I’m home daycare for several months while watching 3 other children full time. I just recently had a job at Easterseals West Georgia but left so I can pursue something more personal and with less work drama. Thank you for considering me!
