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.

Hi! Are you still seeking a sitter? I previously nannied for a ER nurse, so I’m adjusted to the nursing schedule. I’m CPR & BLS certified. I have my own transportation and extra car seat if ever needed. I also have a 3 year old daughter but if whoever I work for prefers she doesn’t come, I arrange help with her. For my previous family I handled bus and daycare pickup, dinner, and bedtime routine. Although it wasn’t asked of me I would clean every day I worked just so she didn’t come home to any stress or worries. Before nannying for this family I worked in a gym kidzone for 2 years. Prior to that gym I worked in another for a year. I also use to work on base traveling during marriage retreats and providing childcare.

Excellent communication, fantastic care of my son. Mea was my son’s nanny from 6 weeks until he was almost 4. She treated him as her own and ensured he had enrichment in daily activities. From nature walks where she explored all of his observations to the library and play dates for socialization. He still absolutely loves her and talks about those memories fondly. Mea did light housekeeping and groceries as well. We loved having her as part of our family.

I'm a Hispanic mom of 2 teenagers and everybody I've met says that I've been doing a great job as a mother raising my kids with good manners and core values. I love caring for babies, they're just in need for good care and lots of love. My experience is based on my motherhood and a sweet boy I've been watching since September 2025. If I have to pick 3 words to describe myself they would be: COMPASSIONATE, KIND AND HONEST! You won't regret it once you give me the opportunity to work with you and take care of your child 🥰

Hi, I'm Max. I have been doing childcare for over 8 years now. I started babysitting as a teen (something I had been dreaming about since I was very young). Through the years I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience from working as a nanny, babysitter, daycare and preschool teacher, and a gymnastics and dance coach! Working with kids is the most fulfilling job in the world to me. I love getting to play a small part in helping these tiny humans grow up to be happy, healthy, and well rounded young people. I love each child I care for as if they were my own. Helping parents to catch a break while knowing their little ones are being loved and cared for is one of the best feelings!
