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.

Being a baby sitter is an amazing job. Being able to step into a little one’s life for a few years and helping them learn new things everyday is beautiful. I have worked with all age ranges and currently watch a 2 year old, 4 year old and 8 year old. It has been amazing watching them grow! My favorite part of the job is teaching the littles new things!

Hi! My name is Randi, and I’m currently getting my degree in Elementary Education. Working with kids is something I truly love! I have been working with kids for many years, I grew up babysitting for my neighborhood so I have great experience with caring for children for extended periods of time. I’m a very creative, energetic person with a naturally happy personality, and I enjoy bringing that energy into everything I do with kids — whether that’s doing crafts, playing games, helping with routines, or just being someone they feel comfortable and safe around. I’m hoping to find a recurring childcare position where I can build a strong connection with a family, but I’m also more than happy to help with occasional babysitting as well. I take pride in being dependable, engaging, and caring, and I would love the opportunity to support your family and be a positive part of your child’s day.

Hi! My name is Emmy, and I’m a college student at Kansas State University looking for a babysitting position. My schedule is pretty flexible aside from a few daytime classes. This semester I have classes every day, but next semester I’ll only have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which will open up even more availability. I have lots of experience in childcare, including working at a daycare and nannying for multiple families. I love spending time with kids and helping out however I can. I’d be excited for the opportunity to babysit for your family!
