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.

Hi! My name is Lauryn Roff! I am twenty-three-years old. I have been a nanny for the last six years and a babysitter for the last ten. I have had the opportunity to be a primary childcare provider at a daycare working inside their infant room. While there, I was responsible for four infants, ages one year and younger, full-time. Along with that, I have been a weekly volunteer in nurseries, daycares, and events for children and youth at my attending church, for the last ten years. I love children and my hope is to be a stay-at-home mom to a big family some day! It brings me so much joy to watch children grow and learn new things and I love being a part of the process!

I am a 45 year old mother of 2 adults and new grandma. I left my office job 17 years ago to spend more time with my kids as they were growing up. When I decided to go back to work, I wanted to do something I enjoyed and had a passion for, so I decided to enter the childcare field. I now have 11 years experience as a nanny and 1 year in a childcare center. As a parent, I understand how difficult it is to balance your professional and personal lives, and just how hard it is to trust someone with your child(ren). I want to do anything I can to make that easier. References available upon request.

Hi, I’m Emily Schorman! I’m 24 years old and have always had a passion for working with children. I currently work as a substitute teacher in local schools, and before moving back to Michigan, I taught Pre-K for the Boys & Girls Club in Tennessee. I recently returned to my hometown and am excited to continue supporting, teaching, and caring for kids. Childcare has been part of my life from a young age—I babysat throughout high school and college, gaining experience with all ages while developing patience, creativity, and strong communication skills. I’m especially passionate about child development, from fine-motor skills and early literacy to social-emotional growth. I’m compassionate, dependable, and committed to creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for every child I care for.
