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’m CPR and First Aid certified and have experience working with people of all ages—from little kids to seniors. I’m super passionate about healthcare and I love being able to help people feel comfortable and cared for. I’m hardworking, reliable, and ready to jump in!"

I am a childcare professional with a passion for caring for children. I have a degree in early childhood education and have dedicated the last 30+ years to working with children. I have experience with children in many settings, including childcare centers, preschools, and home care, as well as having raised two children of my own. I have many years of nanny experience, working with children from infancy through school age. I especially love spending time with and caring for infants and toddlers. There is nothing I find more rewarding than getting to know a child at the beginning of their young life and being a part of helping them grow and develop. I have a quiet, calm, caring and confident way with children that I believe puts both children and parents at ease. I would love to make the time your child must spend away from you fun, loving, engaging and educational. I have recently moved back to Maine and am looking for a part time nanny job in the Gray/Raymond area.

Hi there! My name is Maddie and I’m a student at the Maine College of Health Professions majoring in Radiologic Technology. I grew up in a large family with 5 biological siblings and a newly added adopted sister! I’ve also been very fortunate to have a few nephews join the family in recent years. I enjoy spending time with children and love when I get to work in pediatrics at the hospital. I am currently CPR certified. I’m looking for some extra work outside of my job or would even be willing to leave my current position to work with kids more often when I’m not in classes or clinicals. I’m very good with animals, currently living with two Newfoundlands and a chihuahua!
