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.

We had a wonderful experience with Barbara! She was amazing with my 2-year-old son—he connected with her right away and didn’t want her to leave at the end of the day, which says everything. She came prepared with toys that kept him engaged and happy, and she handled his routine perfectly. She even got him down smoothly for his nap, which isn’t always easy. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful babysitter.

I love working with children because you get to experience their creative, energetic personalities while watching them grow as individuals. The experience I have over the years is watching children of family friends and my own family's children and have been consistently nannying for a year and a half. What sets me apart is that I do plan on being a mother in the future so I would ensure to take care of anyone’s children like I would my own. Ensuring their safety, happiness, growth and learning is my priority.

I enjoy engaging children in fun and educational activities including, arts and craft, music, story time, free play, and trips to museums and zoos. I am CPR and first aid certified, love dogs, and a non-smoker. I look forward to hearing from you and further discussing your specific needs. Thanks, Candace

I got a chance to spend a week with Phoebe while she took care of my one year old. She was patient, playful and very attentive to the toddlers needs without interrupting her natural moves and play. We really liked her and if distance was not a problem we would still have her with us!

I started working with children when I was 17. My first experience was working for a daycare center, and I worked there for two and a half years. I started as a floater, but then I became a part-time teacher for K-2 and 3-year-old kids. I then went to another daycare and I worked with 1 to 2-year-old children. After the daycare experience, I decided to be a nanny and made a career out of it. I have 23.5 years of experience working with children. I am a 43 year-old woman with a 11 year-old daughter, who is very loving, caring, responsible and loves to grow a strong friendship with the family especially with the child/children. I ask $20-22 a hour depending on how many children, how many hours and the duties I would be responsible for doing. I am available on certain days, if interested, feel free to message me.

Melissa was with us for two years. She joined us when our son was just three months old, and from the very beginning, she provided exceptional care, love, and support. I was never worried about safety with Melissa. She is like a second mom to my son. She's the kind of nanny who goes with the child's flow, but also keeps safety boundaries in place and helps create a sustainable system to ease transitions between her care and ours. I trusted her to take my son out and about, drive him around, go to events and playgrounds, etc. She was always actively engaged with him and talking to him. Unlike with other nannies, I never had to tell her to get off of her phone, turn the screen off, interact more with my child, or inform her of what he needs at any given time. She is very safety conscious, focused on education, and helpful. Melissa regularly helped with household tasks like emptying the dishwasher, doing laundry, and vacuuming. She made everything tidier than she found it. When we hired Melissa, one of her references said that Melissa was the type of nanny who will somehow magically be able to keep the baby's socks on and I have found that to be true. At times, she has been more able to do various things to my son than I have (nail clippings, trying particular new foods, etc.). She also did seasonal and age appropriate crafts, which I think is very sweet. Melissa will make your life easier and give you a sense of peace that your little one is very well cared for.

Hi! I’m Emily, and I’m currently starting college while bringing two years of hands-on experience in a daycare environment. I’ve worked with infants all the way up to school-age children, and I truly enjoy supporting each age group in their own unique way. I’m passionate about reading, planning fun and engaging activities, and encouraging off-screen time that helps kids learn, explore, and use their imagination. Creating a safe, calm, and positive environment is really important to me, and I love being someone children can trust and feel comfortable around.
