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.

I have spent the last few years babysitting on and off for neighbors and friends! Most of my experience is with 3-10 year olds and then I spend the summers coaching kids lacrosse ages 5-18 so I pretty much am comfortable with all ages. I am used to cooking, cleaning, going to parks, getting kids to bed, and coming up with a bunch of other activities. I love getting outdoors and bringing out my inner child with them as well so I always look forward to being with kids!

I have over ten years of experience caring for babies and children, including raising my own son. Childcare is something I genuinely love. I enjoy watching kids grow, learn, and explore the world around them, and I bring patience, warmth, and reliability to every family I work with. I'm comfortable caring for children of all ages and can help with a wide range of needs, including meal prep, light housekeeping, homework help, and transportation when needed. I love staying active with kids through games, puzzles, and reading, and I always look for ways to make learning fun. I'm CPR certified and have a reliable car. My goal is to be a dependable, trustworthy presence your family can count on, whether you need occasional help or a consistent long-term caregiver.
