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.

Hi I’m Molly! I’m a comic book artist, looking for extra work! I absolutely adore children, and believe there’s nothing more fulfilling than helping families. I have previous nannying experience in college. I nannied for a 2-year-old boy and 5-year-girl. I also have my very own 5-year-old sister, so I’ve seen every meltdown, every smelly diaper, and every crazy situation you can imagine! I have additional mental healthy training from my experience as a peer mentor at Montclair State University (however, those were very big kids!!) As an artist, I have a very active imagination so we can definitely play pretend, make cookies (not to brag, but my fiancé thinks I make the best chocolate chip cookies), or do whatever the kiddos want—within reason of course, haha!

Deborah was great with our 3 children. They all loved her and requested we send her messages about what we were doing when she wasn't with us. She brought adventure and activities to our house and was super engaged with our girls. We were sad when our schedules no longer aligned but still keep her in mind when we have one off needs. Highly recommend.

Laura is easy to work with and very friendly. My two boys took to her really quickly and count the days down until they see her again. She provides a fun and safe space and always in a good mood. She is reliable and easy to reach at all times. She drives and bilingual which is a plus.
