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.

Tracy has babysat my 3 children (ages 6, 2, and a baby) several time now and we are so thankful we found her! Since we usally live close to family, I had never hired a sitter before so I was a bit uneasy at first. Tracy put all my worries at ease! After the 1st time, my kids were asking when she could come back. Our 2 year old is quite the firecracker and a baby of course requires even more care but we have always felt very confident that Tracy could handle them. There have been times when I have texted her to see if we could return later than our original expected time (having too much fun w/ the hubby!) and that has never been a problem, she's always been happy to stay later. I asked if she could babysit once with only a 2 day notice and it was not a problem. She's sweet, responsible, trustworthy, knowledgable, a mom, and is very understanding...what more could you ask for? We'll be sad to lose her once we move back home!!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Angie to care for our baby and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. From the very beginning, Angie was the epitome of professionalism—always punctual, organized, and prepared for each day with a warm smile and positive attitude. Her attention to detail and dedication to maintaining a clean, safe environment gave us tremendous peace of mind. Whether it was keeping toys organized, tidying up after meals, or maintaining an overall sense of order, Angie was incredibly helpful. Beyond her professionalism, she showed deep attentiveness and a genuine love for children. Angie was always highly communicative, keeping us updated throughout the day with thoughtful notes and observations. She truly listened to and understood our child’s needs, responding with incredible care and patience. Our child absolutely adores her, and it’s easy to see why. Her combination of reliability, warmth, and skill is truly rare. We feel so lucky to have had her in our lives and wholeheartedly recommend Angie to any family looking for exceptional childcare.

Kristen S.

She cared for my two sons from the time they were just 6 months old through age 4, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to trust with them. She was always attentive, caring, and genuinely involved in their day-to-day lives. Beyond just watching them, she played an important role in their growth—encouraging learning, guiding their development, and helping build a strong foundation for their education. My boys were always happy, safe, and engaged in her care. I’m so grateful for the love and dedication she showed our family.

I am a mother to a wonderful almost 6 year old. I have always been the one to help out in the nursery at church and help with friends and family that needed help. Most of my experience has been caring for close family and friends so much of my experience has not been paid. I love providing enrichment activities and watching how children learn and the light bulb goes off. I have a Bachelors of Science in Health Sciences, which was an emphasis of Occupational Therapy as that was my goal to complete the combined Masters of OT with that. So I take that background and the classes in child development and care with me. I have been cpr and first aid certified several times over the last 12 years. I love to play and have as much screen free time as possible. Children are learning how to interact and survive in this world, so are we, we just have had more years to get better.
