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.

Hi, I'm Sam! Watching over and playing with kids is a true passion. Being an outgoing and cheery person really makes children feel comfortable with me. I've studied singing, dance and performing for many years and that has all come to help me better engage with every child I've ever cared for. As the oldest of three kids, I've regularly been tasked with driving them to events and running the house when my parents are out. Some of my most recent positions have been during the school year, nannying two grade-school age boys. This included picking them up from school, completing homework, making snacks and playing with them. I also watched over a toddler and preschooler a couple summers ago. I was responsible for making them breakfast and lunch, putting them down for naps, playing outside with them (walks, bike rides, going to the park, etc.), and driving them to hockey practice. this past summer I watched over 2 kids. One being a toddle and one in elementary school. I was responsible for bringing them to and from activities. I would bring them places like the playground, water parks, the movies, etc. I also volunteer at the YMCA so I’ll go to in elementary school and watch the children after until her parents pick them up. I also teach a dance class for children at the YMCA. I love the outdoors (when it’s warm enough) so I prefer to keep the children I watch active as opposed to sitting in front of a screen all day. I am currently a student at Indiana State University studying Psychology. I plan to open my own private practice to help women and men who go through domestic abuse and other things that may cause trauma. I would love the opportunity to help you out!

Sam has been our Summer/Break Nanny for the past two years. She loves playing with the kids, taking them to activities, and monitoring them while in our pool. Incredibly reliable/communicative and holds herself to a high standard of professionalism.

I would love to nanny for you. I have been babysitting for the past six years. Mainly for friends and family but that doesn’t change the fact that I will care for your children. I grew up with 4 siblings. I have worked with special needs children and that has a special place in my heart because of my youngest sister who has autism. I love working with children and I am ready to create a fun environment where they can grow and have fun. I am willing to help out whenever and wherever. i would love the opportunity to help you family thrive.

I love working with kids and creating a fun, safe environment for them to learn and grow. I currently work at a daycare and have experience supervising play, helping with activities, and caring for multiple children at once. I’m patient, responsible, and enjoy building positive relationships with kids and families. 😊
