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.

I hired Cherrie to look after my three little boys. She passed the Enhanced Background Check and Motor Vehicle check. She worked 12 hour days and took care of all of their needs and more. She drove my son to and from PreK, along with the two toddlers. She was always early for work, polite, responsive to all of my expectations. Best of all my kids really liked her. She knows how to connect with kids, not everyone can do that effectively. I will continue to call on her as needed when she is available.

Hey there! My name is Amber, and I'm a natural-born helper searching for a nanny/babysitting position. I'm super passionate about making your life easier by finding creative and fun ways to keep your kids engaged and entertained. I'm proud to say that I have a talent for bringing out the best in children and teaching them how to be kind, respectful, and sweet human beings. I love making kids smile and laugh, and I'm always up for playing games, reading books, doing arts and crafts, or exploring the great outdoors together. I'm looking for a regular job that's consistent so I can build lasting relationships with the children and families I work with. I'm pet-friendly, have my own transportation, and I don't mind cooking or doing light housekeeping. I have had the opportunity to work with a diverse range of families, each with their unique needs and schedules. I am highly flexible, punctual, and committed to easing your worries. I am also CPR certified. If you are interested in learning more about my qualifications and skills, please do not hesitate to contact me. I would be delighted to discuss how I can make your life easier and more enjoyable. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope you have a fantastic week! Warmly, Amber

I introduce Amber as our super sitter, since I truly feel that she's as close to Mary Poppins as you'll find! She's been working with our baby since he was only a few weeks old, and has stepped up to every tasking we have for her, and we are blessed to have her love and care for our baby. She is also super tidy, and helps leave our home more organized and clean than it is when she first arrives. She takes the youngest to multiple therapies a week, cheering him on even better than me as his mom! She also has taken care of our older kids, and they are excited to see her each day, as she is thoroughly kind and entertaining, and humors them with games of hide and seek, coloring, reading, and various other projects, as well as encouraging their good behavior. We completely trust Amber with our most precious kids, vehicle, and home. She is well worth every dollar, and a pleasure to work with.

I am available for last minute, date nights, weekends, weekdays, overnights, sick care (extra charge if puking is involved!). Or schedule me in advance! I understand how hard it can be if your child is sick but you still have to work! I am a mother of 4 and a Grandmother of 3! I offer many years of childcare experience. I currently have a BLS (basic life support) certification. I worked as a CNA many years ago (I no longer have the certification). I am a Christian and have a strong faith and belief in God. I strive to be a good person and when your child is in my care I pray that you will feel at peace that they are safe and well cared for. I enjoy the outdoors although not so much the Louisiana summer heat! I love animals, cooking, baking, gardening, crafts and any activities that the kids enjoy. Let me know how I can best meet your needs.

Hello my name is Lynzi but I like going by Lshey. I’m 18 and just about to graduate high school in May and is also attending college this fall at SUSLA. I’m interested in jobs like these because I’ve always had to watch little siblings or cousins and I was basically their caregiver while my parents had to overwork for us. I’m good with keeping kids calm and entertained, feed them well and even good naps. I not only want this to save but to also just bond and make memories. I hope you all find me as someone who fits the requirements.
