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. Im Elizabeth, a recent graduate from Fayetteville State University. Im currently looking for additional income outside of working on my small business. I love children and spend time with my nieces and nephews on a regular basis. I previously worked for Farmers daycare, and still help as needed there.

Bottom line up front, Gabriela is absolutely amazing. She was our first nanny for our son and watched while my wife and I worked full time. She watched him from when our son was about 4 months until he was about a year old. She was always engaged with him and keeping him occupied. We had total peace of mind leaving our son with her, and he was always excited to see her. Unfortunately we had to move away, but we cannot say enough good things about Gabby! You would be truly lucky to have her watch your child/children!

Hi! I'm Kayla and I go by Dani :) I'm 27 years old and while most of my work experience is in retail management I recently discovered that guiding children is what I'm passionate about. I've been babysitting on and off for a few years and most of my experience is with toddlers and children! I follow the 'gentle parenting' approach and practice Montessori guiding. I am not AMI certified yet but am very interested in doing so. While babysitting/nannying I like to encourage motor skills, speech skills, and helping the child understand the emotions they're feeling and healthy ways to deal with them. In my free time I like to crochet, read, play games on my computer/switch and go antiquing :)

Kayla watched my son from 15-20 months old in early 2023. She was wonderful and I would have loved to continue having her watch him but we moved away. Kayla always came to our home on time, cheerful, and ready to engage with my son. She is intelligent, kind, observant, and a good listener. I would mention something I was thinking of doing with my son and she tried to find ways to implement that without explicit instruction. My son loved seeing her in the mornings; I work from home and he never cried or needed me if he happened to see me while she was with him. Kayla always followed direction on day structure, meal/snack times, and naps. She cleaned up my son’s dishes, got snack and lunch ready and if he showed interest had him help her, she folded and put his laundry away, and cleaned up any toys before she left, as well as having him help her throughout the day with putting toys away. My son had a slight speech delay and started going to speech therapy around the time Kayla started. I showed Kayla the packet that was given to me during speech and she started implementing it right away. She read to him, reinforced language at every opportunity, and helped him get back on track. His language has exploded in recent weeks and we were able to stop speech after 16 weeks and have no doubt a major reason for that is because of Kayla. By hiring Kayla, you can be assured that you will get someone who engages and nurtures your child, not someone who lounges around while your children fend for themselves. I can’t recommend Kayla’s services enough to families in need of a hard-working, honest, and caring caregiver.

Hello! I have been caring for children professionally for 10 years and, I have experience as a self employed babysitter, and a Child Youth Program Assistant at a licensed facility. I have experience with children aged newborn to 10 years. I specialize in feeding/meal preparation, hygiene maintenance, light house cleaning, potty training and, assistance with school work. I am CPR and First Aid certified as well. What I love most about being a child care provider is that, it keeps you active and it brings the best out of you. What makes me an excellent candidate is that, I was raised with five siblings. So, I understand the importance of having someone that is dependable. I am also a nurturing, trustworthy and caring individual who believes in leading by example. Lastly, I am considerate of preferences set for children. Whether it’s following a particular diet or, having certain restrictions.

We were so grateful to have Brenna care for our 10-month-old son, even if it was only for a few months. The way she loved and nurtured him was truly special, and he adored her from the very start. Every morning, his face would light up with excitement when she arrived, and she'd spend the day playing with him, inventing new games, and making him laugh until his little belly ached. By the time she left, she felt like part of the family. We can't recommend Brenna highly enough - she's a gem, and we feel so lucky to have had her in our lives.
