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 families! I am here to provide babysitting services to any families who may be in need. I do currently work full time as a nanny, but I have plenty of weekend/evening availability! I have been working with children since I was 16 (will be 24 in January 24’) and absolutely love what I do! Originally, I worked at a KinderCare center in the infant room but shortly after COVID started I moved into private childcare. The ability to build a bond with both parents and the children has really been amazing, as well as getting to cater to individual needs and interests. I love playing board games, doing arts and crafts, cooking/baking and exploring the outdoors! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out! Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon!

Hi, I’m Skylar! I have over 15 years of childcare experience, beginning with babysitting my nieces and nephews from infancy through their teen years, and now raising two children of my own (ages 1 and 10). I love working with kids because every day is different — I enjoy creating fun, engaging activities while also providing structure and consistency that helps children feel safe and cared for. Alongside my personal experience as a mom, I’ve provided care for children with unique needs, including a teenager with severe autism. That experience taught me patience, adaptability, and how to approach caregiving with empathy and calm under pressure. I am currently seeking a nanny position where I would be able to bring my toddler with me. Many families have found this to be a wonderful arrangement — the children enjoy having a built-in playmate, and it gives me the opportunity to nurture and support both your child(ren) and mine together in a positive, social environment. In addition to childcare, I bring strong organizational and caregiving skills from my professional background in healthcare administration, hospitality, and customer service. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to creating a safe, caring, and fun atmosphere for kids. I’d love the opportunity to support your family with dependable, compassionate care.
