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.

I love kids. I have two kids of my own, a 1 year old son and a 4 year old daughter. I have experience with children since I was 13 years old. Having children of my own, has taught me so much and how every child has their own personality and learns at their own pace. I can assure you that your child/children will be in good hands.

Hi! I’m Leah, a senior in high school who truly enjoys working with kids. Most of my experience comes from babysitting my younger cousins, and those moments are what made me realize how natural it feels for me to step into a caregiving role. I love being the person who can bring excitement, comfort, and fun into a child’s day, whether that means playing games or helping with homework. I currently work as a dining aid in a nursing home. The job has taught me so much about patience and responsibility. Even though I’m still building my babysitting experience, I’m eager to learn more about childcare and what it takes to support families in their day-to-day routines. I’m patient, responsible, and always willing to lend a hand. I’m also CPR certified! My goal is to make things easier for parents while creating a positive, enjoyable environment for their children. I’m excited to grow as a sitter and to be someone families can rely on, knowing their children are in good hands!

Hi! I’m Alexis, and caring for children is something I genuinely love. I have two years of experience working with children, including a year as a lead infant teacher in a daycare, where I was responsible for daily routines, developmental activities, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. I also have experience supporting children on the autism spectrum, focusing on skill development, behavior support, and individualized care. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I always strive to create a calm, positive space where children feel secure and cared for. Families can trust that I treat every child with kindness, respect, and genuine care.
