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 have been caring for and teaching kids, from newborn to around the 7th grade, for 20 years. My favorite things are toys, story telling, puppets, dress up, singing songs, teaching abc's/123's, playing games, play dough, field trips to the park and library, and just being silly. I also like doing house work, laundry, shopping and preparing meals.

Darlene was a great nanny for us. She was reliable, available and punctual. She brought different toys for my children to play with and always had different crafts for them to do. We are not using her anymore b/c there is not a need for full time care, but she was a wonderful sitter for our family.

Hannah is an AMAZING babysitter. We had her help out with our 2 children (1 year old and 2 year old with special needs) for 3 months while she was on summer break from college. She was always on time, always worked well with the kids, had the ability to adjust to their needs and had a great attitude towards things. We really appreciated how she bonded well with our 1 year old (who she spent the most time with). I would recommend her to anyone wholeheartedly.
