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.

Last-minute, school and tutoring, date nights—find the right babysitters for you.

Caroline worked for our family for the month of August while my family was living in Ocean City. During this time, Caroline cared for our 4 month old boy/girl twins while my husband and I worked. Caroline was extremely professional, punctual, nurturing and responsive to our babies needs. She was great at keeping to our schedule of what she should be doing with the babies and when (feeds, playtime, naps, etc.). She was great with our 6 year old clingy dog. Caroline was truly a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their kids.

Hi! I'm Jess :) I've been caring for kids for 2+ years and I genuinely love it. I'm big on outdoor play and keeping kids busy - we might be at the playground, working on a craft project or reading the same book 5 times if that's what it takes. I believe kids do best with patience and clear routines. I'm originally from Colombia and I'm bilingual. I can teach your kids Spanish through play!. Reliable, CPR certified, have my own transportation, and I'll care for your kids like they're my little cousins. Would love to help your family!
