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.

Hi families! My name is Claudia and I live in midcoast Maine. I have a degree in Early Childhood Ed and Visual arts, and have been an after school art teacher teaching k-5 and a substitute teacher for this past year. I have 10 years experience in childcare including nannying, babysitting, teaching, daycare work, with kids from newborns-11 years old. I love making art with kids, crafts are my speciality and I'm a big believer in the benefits art has to all other developmental areas. I love playing games, reading together, music and song, taking walks into the community for libraries, parks, or playgrounds, and I'm excited to do all of this and more with your family!

Claudia is an obviously experienced babysitter who is very attentive to our baby daughter's needs. Her early education training really shines through in her play, as she is very interactive, sings and plays music, reads books, etc. Our baby is very happy and comfortable with her! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Claudia to other families.

Hi families! My name is Karlee, I have always loved working with children and watching them learn, grow, and discover new things. I completed three years of Early Childhood Education at Oxford Hills Technical School, where I gained hands-on experience working with children of all ages. I am working at a daycare and wanting some experience with children I graduated from Buckfield High School in the Class of 2026. My goal for the future is to open and run my own daycare in my home. I am so excited to continue learning and growing alongside your little ones! When I'm not working, I enjoy fishing, paddle boarding, shopping, getting Aroma Joe's, and spending time with my friends and family

I like children and enjoy taking care of them. My daughter is now 18 years old and in college. I watched my daughter and her friends up to age 13. After that I went to school for Elementary Education.

Parents NEED Breaks! Schedules get full and there's a lot to juggle. Having safe, skilled childcare when you have to work is a necessity and you know you need a date night soon!!!! I have many years of experience caring for children and I also am a pediatric Occupational Therapist. I am currently not practicing because I am a homeschool mom of 3 rambunctious ones of my own!! (This includes twins so if you have twins, I'm your lady!) I am frequently available to provide childcare evenings and weekends, as well as overnights. Daytime availability is variable, as it needs to include my kids (sometimes, but not always), so let's talk about what you need! I am comfortable with all ages and levels of needs. Very comfortable with children with physical disabilities, autism and have experience and/or knowledge about quite a few medical conditions. Willing to learn anything needed to care for your kids! I have a lot of experience caring for children at weddings, reunions and other special events. Coming from out of town and need a safe, reliable caregiver (with references)? contact me! When I care for your children they have my full attention! I am comfortable with following your routine and style of discipline and can manage baths, bedtime routines, meal prep, household chores, etc. My rates are flexible! My hourly rate is 15-20 per hour, depending on the number of children and level of responsibility. Also totally flexible about pay and will consider jobs with a flat rate for a day or a little less per hour than listed above.

I have been around children my whole life and have been working as a summer nanny from 2014-2016 as well as a daycare assistant for the summers of 2018-2020 with children ranging from 4months-11years. I also worked at an after-School program for a year while I attended Husson University in Bangor Maine, where I just graduated with a bachelors degree in Health Sciences. I’m currently working as an Ed Tech in an elementary school in Lewiston and going back to school online for my teaching degree. I love creating special bonds with each child I care for. I’m creative and arts and crafts loving. My biggest goal is to bring a smile to your child’s face.
