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.

Hi! My name is Kelsie. and I bring over 10 years of babysitting experience, including the past 3 years caring full-time for my own child. I’ve worked with children of all ages—from infants to pre-teens—and understand firsthand the patience, attentiveness, and genuine care it takes to create a safe and nurturing environment. As a parent myself I often look for a babysitter who is dependable, trustworthy, calm under pressure, and engaging—and I strive to embody all of those qualities. I always prioritize safety, open communication, and respect for each family's unique routine and parenting style. Here are some of the duties I regularly perform: Preparing healthy meals and snacks Diaper changing and potty training support Bathing and bedtime routines Organizing fun, age-appropriate activities Helping with homework and school prep Light housekeeping (tidying toys, kids’ laundry, dishes) Administering basic first aid when needed Maintaining a structured, safe, and positive environment Whether you need occasional help or regular care, I aim to give you peace of mind knowing your little one is in capable, loving hands.

Hi! My name is Gretchen May, and I'm currently starting my junior year as an Elementary Education major at Western Carolina University. Back in high school in my hometown of Raleigh, NC, I interned at Bright Horizons daycare during my senior year, and I was lucky enough to be offered a job there afterward. I've worked there every summer since, and it’s truly where my love for working with children — especially babies — grew even more. I love being a working with children because I can help them grow, see them reach milestones, and help them learn through every activity. Thank you so much!
