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.

Lucielle is wonderful. She is always on time, very responsive, she is kind, caring, creative and proactive. We brings the routine and attentiveness skills from having worked in a daycare center, but the warmth of a family friend. Both of my babies took to her immediately.

Hi. My name is Jessica Dube and I’ve been a professional nanny since 1998. During these years I have worked with 5 wonderful families. The children were all of infant age when I started with them. Generally I stay with a family for 2-3 years. I love planning age appropriate outings such as trips to the library and playgroups. I’m a big believer in reading to your children starting at birth so that is one of my favorite activities. Infants are my specialty but I’ve worked with all age groups. If you’d like to hear more about me please reach out. My references are impeccable. Jessica Dube

Hello I'm Melissa. I'm 39 years old and I believe I have exceptional experience as a caretaker as I have 14+ years behind me. I'm a certified home health aide. I have my BLS certificate as well. I am a fulltime mother of 2. I also homeschool my youngest. I'm fun, energetic love being outdoors caring, trustworthy and very reliable. I would treat your little ones as if they were mine because that's how I'd want mine treated if they were in the hands of a caretaker.

I have a nanny profile so I also wanted to add a babysitting profile. I am looking for weekend work since I am already working full time during the week (could also be flexible and work after school during week day if needed) I have worked with children since I was 17 years old (now 26) and I am currently an ABA therapist for preschool working with nonverbal autistic children! I also have experience as a nanny for a family for 3 years in which the children were 5 and 7 when I started! (I did that job part time during the school year and full time in the summer) I also have experience with newborns/infants if a new mom needs a date night or girls night out! :)
