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.

Very nice and shows up on time. Hired her to watch my 15 month old son Tuesday mornings. Showed up for an in person interview and seems very into Cameron’s care/schedule. Asks a lot of questions too which is good so she can better get to understand my son’s morning routine. Changes his diapers fine and provides entertainment for him, even when he’s cranky. Would definitely recommend!

Sidra R.

She was great with my 8 moth old son and my 7 year old step daughter. She was very kind and attentive to them. Always shows up early and was very helpful. She was able to find them all types of different activities to do throughout the day. She kept them both entertained even though their needs are very different. I will definitely be using her in the future.

Hi! I’m an incoming college freshman with over three years of professional childcare experience. I’m dependable, motivated, and bring a positive, caring attitude into every home I work in. Creating a safe, comfortable, and happy environment for children is always my top priority, especially since I work within their safe space and value building strong, trusting relationships. I’m happy to help with more than just childcare, including light housekeeping, tutoring, meal prep, errands, and caring for children when they’re not feeling well. I’m certified in First Aid, CPR, and food handling, and I also have a background education in the medical field. When I’m not working, I attend the University of New Mexico, where I study biochemistry. In my free time, I enjoy drawing, cooking, reading, and spending quality time with my family. I truly love working with children and take pride in being someone families can rely on.

Evangelina has been professional, prompt, and super helpful by being extremely communicative about her schedule/availability. She does great with our approximately 18 month old daughter, feeding her, reading to her, and keeping her entertained and safe while my partner and I are out doing other things. We highly recommend her and look forward to working with her in the future. I could say more good things, but I'll pause here.
