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.

Last-minute, school and tutoring, date nights—find the right babysitters for you.

My name is Jacqueline. To start off with a little bit about my experience, I am currently a Postpartum Doula for a set of preemie triplets, totaling over 10 years of Doula experience with multiple births. I have worked in home day cares and childcare centers, as well as babysitting and nannying for ages newborn to 12 years old. I have raised 4 children and will be a new grandma in December! I absolutely adore kids and always make it a point to treat them how I want my children & grandchildren to be treated! I truly believe that my passion is working with children and think it's important to not only care for them, but to teach them through creative activities as well. I have 3 animals of my own, so I’m definitely a huge animal lover! A few general activities I enjoy doing with children are singing, dancing, playing instruments, reading, painting/crafting, learning colors/ABCs, fun outings, etc.

Jacqui has excellent communication—whether it’s about her expectations as a sitter, upcoming shifts she has you down for, or if something pops up to interfere with a shift. Jacqui loves kids and allows them to be fully themselves. She also brings her vast experience to the table and helps the children to grow and learn and have fun. Jacqui is firm but flexible. She is confident in her skills. I appreciate her expertise and gentle manner with my daughter.

I am a 42 year with three older children of my own, so I know how hard it can be to find someone that is dependable and that you can trust with the most important people in your life, your children. I will provide your child(ren) with safe, enriching care while you are away. I love implementing educational games and activities in a fun way! We are a very active family and enjoy spending time outdoors, whether it be a game of soccer in the yard, a hike through the woods or a trip to the park. I look forward to hearing what your childcare needs are and working together to meet those needs!

Hello there! I’ve cared for and watched over infants and children for most of my 21 years. From family, to the church nursery, summer jobs, and friends of family. I adore children and have yet to meet a child that hasn’t warmed up to me and/or wanted to be held or played with by me. I know what it takes to keep a child entertained and happy, to engage them and make every day a little bit of an adventure. I’m a Christian, was homeschooled and am currently working on getting certified in nanny certifications to make me the best caretaker I can possibly be. I am a creative/artistic person who loves to read, sketch, write, play the piano, garden, and ride my horse. I am certified in CPR and first aid for adults, children, and infants. And have had several background checks done on me in order to work in my church’s nursery and for the City of Olathe and can provide background check upon request. I currently work as a floral designer part-time and would love to see if I would be a good fit for your family!

Hello, families! My name is Mackenzie, and I’ll be relocating to the Ottawa, Kansas area. I’m currently looking for a full-time or part-time nanny position beginning around the time of my move. I’ve been working with children since I was 16 years old, starting in daycare centers and gaining years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages. Since then, I’ve also nannied for two wonderful families, where I’ve built strong relationships with both the children and their parents by providing dependable, loving, and attentive care. I genuinely love helping children learn and grow through play, outdoor adventures, reading, crafts, sensory activities, and age-appropriate learning experiences. I also have extensive experience caring for infants and am comfortable with feeding routines, diaper changes, naps, and supporting developmental milestones. I will be bringing my 8-month-old son with me, so I’m looking for a family who is comfortable with him accompanying me. I believe this creates wonderful opportunities for socialization while still ensuring each child receives the attention and care they deserve. I am also open to providing care from my home if that works better for your family. I’m patient, reliable, organized, and passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can thrive. I’d be happy to provide references upon request and answer any questions you may have. I look forward to connecting with your family!
