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.

Hello! My name is Liz Suggitt. I am 27 years old and have had many experiences working with children from different age groups. I have provided childcare for four different families in the past and have enjoyed getting to know each of those families during the time that they needed care. I love working with children and have had quite a bit of experience working with multiple young children at the same time. I also have volunteered at my church throughout the years in different children's programs and really enjoy working with children from all different backgrounds. I enjoy caring for children of all ages, playing games both inside and outside, doing crafts, reading, swimming and preparing meals and snacks. One of my past jobs that I had was working as a delivery driver, and through that I have obtained plenty of driving experience while keeping a clean driving record so I feel very comfortable handling pick-ups/drop-offs. I am available for the days that you need me and I also have a flexible schedule if you need childcare on any other days. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration and I'm looking forward to hearing back from you! Liz Suggitt

I’m currently seeking a part-time nanny position to complement my schedule as a hairstylist, where I work 3–4 days a week. I have a genuine love for children and value being part of the “village” that helps nurture them into confident, kind, and capable young people. Coming from a family of educators, I’ve naturally developed a nurturing, patient, and supportive approach. While I am new to professional childcare, I have hands-on experience babysitting for family and friends while providing comfort and care, creating fun and engaging activities, changing diapers, and preparing meals. I am also CPR and First Aid certified. I would love the opportunity to support a family in need of reliable, caring part-time childcare.

Hi! I love being a sitter because I enjoy helping kids feel safe, happy, and engaged while giving parents peace of mind. I’ve been caring for my nephew since he was born, and he’s now 4 years old, so I have plenty of hands-on experience with babies and toddlers. I’ve also babysat my younger cousins, ages 7 and 11, so I’m comfortable with a range of ages. I’m patient, responsible, and creative—I love planning fun activities and making sure kids are safe and well cared for.
