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.

I love children, and I love working with theml!! :) I've been working in private homes over 20yrs now, and find it to be a fulfilling job to help my families be happier!! My main goal is to keep the kids happy and safe, while making sure the parents can come home to no worries... the house will ALWAYS be cleaner then when you left, as well as the kids usually being happier.. (I say usually because let's be honest, sometimes they're hard to impress/please Haha) Please just ask to see my resume, and feel free to ask any questions you would like!

Desiree has worked for us for two years. She is fantastic. We met her while she was nannying our friend's three kids. She was with them for four years. When we needed to hire a sitter, we didn't hesitate! The way she cared for our friend's children was as if they were her own. Our kids love her like she's part of our family. She's extremely reliable and always has a smile, even when life gets tough. She showed up at our house at 6am for two years & was only late twice- once for a flat tire and once because of crazy amounts of snow. She does need a full time job, so I hope she finds one soon. Interview her and you won't be disappointed. I am one of her references.
