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'm currently working with Corrine to care for my 8 year old son while he does remote learning and I work. She engages with him very well, keeps him on track for school, and plays with him while on breaks. It has been a great experience so far!

I highly recommend Ashley as a nanny for your family. Over the past 4.5 years, Ashley has been an invaluable member of our household, providing exceptional care for our three children. Her engaging personality, nurturing nature, and impeccable organizational skills make her an ideal candidate for any family seeking a dedicated and reliable childcare provider. First and foremost, Ashley’s ability to connect with children is truly remarkable. She interacts with our children in a way that is both engaging and educational, fostering a sense of curiosity and creativity in them. My children benefited greatly from interactions that involve positive emotions, high levels of engagement, and opportunities for exploration and learning. Ashley embodies all of these qualities in her interactions with our kids and consistently creates an enriching environment for their growth and development. Ashley’s nurturing nature is evident in the way she cares for our kids. She is attentive, patient, and compassionate, always putting the needs and well-being of our children first. Ashley’s ability to create a warm and nurturing environment for our children has been instrumental in their emotional and social development, fostering a sense of security and trust that has helped them flourish. In addition to her innate qualities as a caregiver, Ashley’s organizational skills and preparedness are unmatched. She goes above and beyond to ensure that she is fully prepared for any situation that may arise, whether it be a scheduled activity or an unexpected challenge. Her keen attention to detail and proactive approach have been invaluable to our family, especially during major milestones, especially that what can be dreaded task of potty training. Ashley successfully guided us through this challenging process not once, but twice. I cannot recommend Ashley enough as a nanny for your family. I am confident that Ashley will exceed your expectations and provide your children with the love, care, and support they need to thrive.

My name is Jill Patel and I would love to be your next helper! I am a rising junior at the university of pittsburgh where I am majoring in neuroscience and child development. A little bit about me is that I love all kinds of animals, I can speak 4 languages fluently (English, Gujarati, Hindi, French), and I love the outdoors. I has lots of experience with kids since I was a nanny for a 2 year old and an 8 month old, and I have been a tennis coach for 4 years. I adore kids of all ages and love to connect with each of them. They bring a fresh perspective to everything and can brighten up any sad day. Working as a tennis coach with children as young as 3 and adults as old as 60, I have picked up a lot of tips and tricks when it comes to working and engaging with children. I believe that my job has really given me an insight on what goes on their little minds and how I can form a relationship with them. So I’ve encountered any and all situations with kids from ad young as infants and up to high schoolers. I like to approach with a more hands-on approach regarding activities, with limited screen time. I always have lots of games, stories, educative learning, and imagery play ready to go!

Being a sitter can make you feel a sense of fulfillment by providing care and support while building a positive relationship with the children and their families. It’s a job where you can be creative, active, and make a meaningful impact on young lives. Growing up as the oldest coming from a big family you take on a lot of responsibilities and skills like communication, patience, understanding of child development stances, adaptability, problem solving, safety awareness, the availability to stay calm under pressure, and being able to foster a child’s social, emotional, and intellectual growth through engaging activities.

Hi! My names Mary, I am a 20 year old graduate who has been babysitting since I was 11. I am a very energetic, happy, and caring caregiver. I have experience with babysitting as well as being a nanny, I can do both. I have one niece and one nephew who I have watched throughout the years, as well as many younger cousins. I am going to community college so I will be available even after summer. I enjoy doing activities with the children as well as taking them places. I can watch the kids either at my house or yours, whichever works better for you. I also have a 3 1/2 nephew that loves to play with other kids if you’re comfortable with him coming with me occasionally or bringing the kids back to my house to play and hang out! I have a pretty flexible schedule, and am always up to help. I do have another nannying job that varies week to week but on days I don’t have them am very happy to help any way I can. I have always loved children and am told I have a special way with them.

Hi! My name is Maria, and I’m a bilingual elementary school teacher with years of experience working with children of different ages and needs. I currently teach in a dual-language classroom, where I help create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for kids to learn and grow every day. I’m also a mom to a 6-month-old baby, so I understand how important it is for parents to find someone caring, patient, and trustworthy to care for their children. Because I have a baby at home, I prefer to provide childcare from my house, where I can create a comfortable, safe, and nurturing environment for all children in my care. I enjoy activities like reading, arts and crafts, educational play, outdoor time, and helping children stay engaged throughout the day. I’m fluent in both English and Spanish and have experience supporting children with different learning and developmental needs. I’m currently looking for summer babysitting opportunities and would love the chance to help support your family this summer!
