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.

Hello! I am the mother of 3 grown children. I started babysitting when I was 11 years old. For a few years, I had a licensed daycare in my home. I quit the home daycare as my husband went on third shift and needed to sleep during the day. At that time, I also switched over to homeschooling my two youngest children. Both have since graduated college and I am now an "empty nester". I love animals and have fostered a few dogs in my home for Lake Haven Animal Rescue. Over the past 30+ years, I have adopted 7 rescue dogs. I currently have one Shih tzu named Molly. I have done pet sitting as well. I have references upon request.

Hi! My name is Alyx, and I have been babysitting for several years. I genuinely love working with kids because every day is different, and I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for them. I love doing creative activities like coloring, drawing, and arts and crafts, but I also enjoy staying active with kids by playing sports, games, and spending time outdoors. I also worked at MVP Sports Club in the kids’ area, where I cared for children of all ages. That experience helped me learn how to handle different personalities, stay patient, and keep kids engaged in both structured activities and free play. I’m comfortable working with multiple children at once and adapting to different age groups. In addition, I am CPR and First Aid certified, so I’m always prepared to keep your child safe. I’m responsible, reliable, and always aim to make both kids and parents feel comfortable and confident in my care.
