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.

Hi, I'm Ashley! I love working with kids because it is so fun and rewarding! I've spent two years working with several different kinds of children and have loved connecting with them and their families. I have experience working with many different family types and styles, as well as different children, including kids with disabilities. As a returning college student I have very flexible hours and would love to connect with many new families. I am very passionate about working with kids and am currently in a course of study to do so full time in the future. The family unit is a very beautiful thing and I have loved building community with all the families I have worked with in the past and would love to continue to do so!

My name is Malisa. I am orthodontist assistant, before that I was a babysitter/ part time nanny. I love children so much it made me the person I am today. Ever since I was little I always watched my little sister. Many think it doesn’t count but it does. I was 7 changing diapers making sure dinner was on the table. Some days I was tired and exhausted but I knew it was all worth it. I also work part time for a children’s dentistry I love it. The kids are amazing. Some kids are messy but what is life without mess? Nobody has a perfect life and that’s what makes everyone’s like so unique. I would love the opportunity to babysit your kids

Hi my name is Cassandra Cooley and I am a mom of a two year old girl who would have to come with me most days. I have quite a bit of experience with child care of all ages. Back in California I was a nanny for two girls ages 5 and 7. I was responsible for pick up and drop off as well as homework help, cleaning, and light cooking. I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old for kids of all ages. Here in Boise I worked at a pre school/daycare so I do have my childcare license. I was head of the infant department there and also did pre school and toddlers. I would love to chat with you about caring for your little one(s)!
