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.

Chase came to sit my two little children, 3y and 4m. She was absolutely incredible. She was quick to text and respond, kept me informed, and sent pictures while I was out. She was able to cook dinner for my toddler. Took them out to the beach, which is a heavy lift with a lot of logistics and requirements. She handled both bedtimes well. Was punctual, kind, and my toddler loved her. My toddler kept asking for Chase to come back to play the next day. I felt safe leaving my children with her.

Evelyn watched my 6 month old son for 1 month before he started daycare and let me just say, she went above and beyond! She is extremely punctual - arrived on time or early each day, thorough - wrote detailed notes about my son’s day (food, naps, diapers) including questions or tips for clothing and play, friendly - enjoyed chatting and getting to know her, respectful, and tidy - washed his bottles, tray table and washed/folded/put away his clothes! We really appreciate everything she did to keep us organized. I wholeheartedly recommend her and hope to employ her for a future date night!
