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.

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.

Deja was great helping our 14 year old son get to the airport as an unaccompanied minor. She arrived ahead of schedule, communicated promptly, and was very friendly with our son. I highly recommend her!

Emma is fabulous! She has been helping us out with our two boys on a daily basis for the past month while look for a new full-time nanny. She is incredibly patient and conscientious and our boys adore her. I'm so glad we found her to help us out and look forward to using her as a regular babysitter once we find full-time childcare.

Hi, im 28 with 3 boys who I love and adore more than anything in this world. I have been babysitting children from ages Infant to Toddler since I was the age of 12. My past work history has always been either babysitting and being a caregiver as a cna or hha and love doing what I do best is taking care of others. I love doing activities and learning with the kids that fit the right ages and getting them ahead of things and preparing them for school when the time comes! I always make sure i go above and beyond when watching others kids and make sure they are okay and comfortable as I know sometimes it can be scary. I am a mom so i know how it is as a parent. I have a couple current kids I am watching full time in my home and have some spots left open and plenty of references as well! I look forward from hearing from each and every one of you. Thank you!
