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.

Hello! I’m Miriam, a dedicated and compassionate nanny with 10 years of childcare experience. At 28, caring for children is not just what I do — it’s what I truly love. Over the past decade, I’ve had the joy of supporting families with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, helping each child grow with curiosity, and kindness. I’m known for creating a warm, calm, and engaging environment where kids feel safe to explore, learn, and express themselves. Whether I’m planning creative activities, helping with routines, or supporting developmental milestones, I always bring patience and a genuine connection. Families appreciate my reliability, communication, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing their little ones are well cared for. My goal as a nanny is to not only support your child’s growth, but to become a trusted extension of your family. I’d love the opportunity to bring my experience, warmth, and enthusiasm to your home!

I have always loved kids. No matter the age I was I was always looking for somebody to take care of. I took care of my siblings growing up. I have worked with children in the autism spectrum as well as other disabilities. I know CPR, however need to get my recertification. I have a reliable safe car to get me to and from wherever I may need to go and if need willing to transport the kids! I believe being a nanny does carry a heavy weight in responsibility. I understand these are your babies and you want the best for them, I’d do my part and meet you where you are in terms of rules regulations and learning styles! I strongly believe children need consistency, with that being said I’d be loyal to you and your family if chosen to be hired. I'd love to get to know your family and hopefully I can be apart of your village!

Hi, my name is Alexis and I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old. I love spending time with kids, it’s always been fun to me. I grew up with 8 other siblings so I have a lot of experience with different ages. As I grew up people started asking me to watch their kids and once I did I kept getting called the “baby whisper” or just got the same compliment of the amazement of how well I was with kids. I not only am here to help with your kids but I love to play games and engage with them so they aren’t always infront of a screen. I can cook, clean, drive, and organize/declutter. Whatever you need I am here! Feel free to reach out with any questions!
