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! My name is Killian Kiernan and I am a dependable and nurturing babysitter with hands-on experience caring for children from infancy through school-age programs.

I’m certified in CPR and First Aid, and I’ve completed training in child safety and age-appropriate care. I’m confident managing daily routines, including feeding, diapering, naps, and bedtime for infants, as well as engaging school-age children in fun, educational activities.

Hello! My name is Violet and I would love to meet your child or children. To tell you a little about myself, and why I work with kids: I am 23 years old. I started working as a camp counselor at Baltimore Woods when I was 13, and that's when I realized that I love working with kids. I kept up my summer camp job through high school. I worked at two day care centers and in 2021, I began lifeguarding and giving swim lessons to kids at the Skaneateles Community Center. I also babysit. I have worked with all different kids of kids and they are all unique and lovable. I would say my best attribute for this work is patience. I am CPR-certified. I do have a car and I’m free during the week after 4:30 and I am free on Saturdays and Sundays nights. I have good references. I am about making sure kids have fun while staying safe. This is what I love to do!

I am a big sister to my 10 year old sister. My parents used the “built-in-babysitter” as much as they could. They were lucky that I love kids because I had the greatest time with her everyday. I am the one the family passes all the little cousins to, and I use the most of my creativity when I’m with them. I love crafts and finding ways to pass time.

I am a very responsible person, I love working with children and have had multiple babysitting jobs. I can cook and clean. I can provide references and I’ve been infant and regular cpr and first aid certified multiple times. I have a stepson who I stay home to care for, I have him every other week so would prefer to have a consistent schedule with your kid at your or my home.
