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.

I’ve been a babysitter for kids of all ages and have babysat up to five at a time. After high school graduation, I spent a year abroad working in Ireland.

I’ve been babysitting for my own family for over a year, caring for children of different ages and helping out with basic adult care when needed. Those experiences taught me patience, communication, and how to keep people comfortable, safe, and engaged. I’m naturally warm, dependable, and great with people, and I enjoy creating a calm, supportive environment. I’m now looking to expand and offer the same level of care to other families who need someone reliable and genuinely caring. Along that I am CPR & First Aid trained with a CNA license
