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.

First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to considering my ability to help you. I was a full time nanny for 4 boys ranging from newborn-10. I've been on amd off with them the past 5 years. I would say that I have a lot to offer considering I have a crazy amount of care, patience, and love for all children. I love being active and love to keep the kids entertained without electronics. I have a lot to offer to any family that is willing to take a chance. Thank you!

Hi! I’m originally from Michigan and recently returned after spending the past year in Hawaii. I’ve worked with the YMCA since 2014, holding a director-level role with a strong focus on youth programs and camp leadership. Through this work, I’ve gained extensive experience creating safe, engaging, and developmentally supportive environments for children of all ages. In addition to my youth program background, I have hands-on nanny experience with children ranging from 3 months to 8 years old. I’m comfortable with routines, early childhood development, and balancing both fun and structure. I also have valuable experience supporting children with special needs, approaching every child with patience, understanding, and individualized care. I’m passionate about helping kids learn, grow, and feel confident—and I’m committed to providing families with reliable, compassionate, and professional support. Let me know how I can help your family thrive!

I love working with children! I have recently nannied a family but they just went to school. I have been a preschool teacher at a small private school for 1 year. I worked at a daycare starting as an assistant teacher in the infant/toddler side and eventually got my CDA and became lead teacher, eventually moved to the preschool side and was lead teacher there for a little bit as well. I have also babysat family friends kids off and on as they need it and I am free. I have had my CPR certification but it has expired since last time I took it, I am of course willing to take it again for the comfort of the parents if needed:)
