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.

I have 7 years of experience caring for newborns through preteens. I value emotional intelligence, healthy boundaries, and gentle guidance. I understand that every child feels and processes the world differently, and I tailor my care to meet each child where they are—supporting both their emotional and developmental needs in a calm, respectful environment.

Giselle was a joy to have in our home. She was on time and great with our kids. Both our 10 y/o son and our 8 y/o daughter had nothing but nice things to say about her and ask if she could come sit for them again. Would recommend and use again.

A bit about me, I spend a lot of my time riding horses and hanging around at home with my husband and our dog. Previously in 2023 I graduated from Wayne State University and just 10 days after graduating, I accepted a new position in Marketing at a local car dealership! In terms of child care, I have around 7+ years of experience helping different families with a handful of different needs. Prior to my new position, I nannied full-time for a private family in Birmingham for close to three years. I helped with grocery errands, getting the youngest to school, getting the kids to bed. Given my new availability, I am really hoping to find a new loving family or two that wants a dependable date night sitter every or every other weekend! My husband and I are starting our nest egg for our honeymoon come September so the pressure is on! We are very fortunate to be visiting Hawaii so we hope to save up enough to do all of the things!

Dian was an exceptional nanny for my son, Miles, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly trustworthy and reliable, always showing up on time and ready to engage. More than just a caregiver, Dian truly became a part of our family, treating Miles with the same love and care as she would her own children. With over 30 years of experience as a teacher in the Birmingham school district, she brings a wealth of knowledge, patience, and understanding, making her a natural educator as well as a caregiver. Dian has raised three wonderful children of her own, and her nurturing, positive influence was evident every day. She knows instinctively how to balance fun with structure—you won’t need to remind her about limiting screen time, encouraging outdoor play, or teaching self-reliance and chores; she integrates these values seamlessly. Dian's creativity shines through in everything she does, from organizing sports activities, bike rides, arts and crafts, to finding engaging new ways to keep Miles learning and growing. She often went above and beyond, planning special outings after school if my work schedule required it. Whether it was a local event, a museum, or a new park to explore, Dian always ensured Miles had meaningful, enriching experiences. We miss having her around on a daily basis and still keep in touch, as she truly became a cherished part of our lives. Unfortunately, due to financial changes, we could no longer retain her services, which was a great loss for us. If she is still available, consider yourself lucky—Dian is an incredible catch. Her wealth of experience, genuine care, and proactive, creative approach make her the perfect nanny for any family.

I will be getting a masters in social work online starting in the fall, so I have taken many early development psychology courses as well. I am first aid and CPR certified!

Nayan worked 30 hours/week caring for our toddler twins while we were visiting my father and working remotely. Under challenging circumstances (house not child-proofed, multiple generations under the roof, no air conditioning) she did an amazing job caring for and entertaining the children. She is enthusiastic and energetic and could keep up with the twins even when they ran in different directions. She had great ideas for games and activities and had endless patience. The kids loved her. We would definitely hire her again!

My girls absolutely LOVE Monica! I have a 3 and 5 year old, who always have the best time when Monica babysits. From doing crafts and science experiments to going on walks and playing outside, they are always entertained. And bonus- we don’t come home to a disaster of a mess when we get back home. We don’t know what we would do without her service! ☺️
