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! My name is Rose, and I am 24 years old. I love kids and have taught swim for 2 years of all ages and currently nanny for a family of a 4 year old and 18 month old and have for 6 months. I love animals and am very good with them and people alike. I am very crafty and quick on my feet when it comes to problem-solving. I am also very artsy and love doing craft and educational projects with the little ones. If I'm not doing a puzzle or building a fort, we're playing hide and seek! The family I currently nanny for can attest to my thoroughness and overall loving spirit. I will protect your children with my life and treat them like they are my own! My schedule is posted but can always be worked around. I am certified in first aid and cpr and am more than willing to send you those.

Rosemary has watched our kids a few times so far, and we’ve had a great experience each time. She is always on time, communicative, and dependable. Our two kids really enjoy her and look forward to when she comes over. We especially appreciate that she keeps them engaged with activities like arts and crafts instead of just relying on TV. We would definitely recommend her to other families!

Hi! My name is Hannah, and I have been involved with childcare since 2013. I’ve served with church ministries such as Vacation Bible School, Awana, preschool care and various weekly youth activities. 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. Much of my time there was spent volunteering alongside my local church with children’s and youth ministries. I thoroughly enjoy working with children and love getting to know them and to their families!

Hiiiii I’m Imani! I currently am a 1 year old teacher and love what I do. I used to babysit while I was in school and sometimes as need for some parents of my students. My love for kids comes from my mom who has kept me around kids my entire life. I went from daycare to daycare with her and went to school with her while she got her early child hood education degree. We babysat her friend kids for over 10 years. I love all the one on one time with the kids and being able to help loving parents.
