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! I’m a responsible and caring 19-year-old high school graduate with a strong passion for childcare and development. I’ve completed a job shadow in an elementary school classroom, which gave me hands-on experience supporting young learners and understanding how to create a positive, engaging environment. I’ve also spent lots of time caring for my 5-year-old nephew, so I’m comfortable with daily routines, playtime, helping with meals, and keeping kids entertained in fun and creative ways. Safety is very important to me, and I am CPR certified. I’m patient, dependable, and love helping kids learn, grow, and have fun. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Hello! I’m Lola and I'm the oldest of seven kids, with the youngest being just 4, so caring for children has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I naturally took on a “second mom” role and learned how to juggle patience, responsibility, and lots of love. Throughout high school, I also babysat for family friends to earn extra money, giving me hands-on experience with kids of different ages and personalities. In addition to childcare, I’ve always had pets in the house, so I understand the responsibility, attentiveness, and care that come with animals too. I’m a creative person who loves keeping kids active and engaged through imaginative play, crafts, and hands-on activities—the messier, the better! I also believe creativity comes with responsibility, so cleaning up together is always part of the fun. I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves!
