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.

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’ve worked with families and in structured childcare settings, supporting children’s development at every stage—from soothing newborns to helping older kids with homework and creative play. 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.

I have 4 years of professional childcare experience and a passion for working with kids. I started in a daycare at 16 and have been a full-time nanny for nearly a year — currently caring for an 18-month-old, 3-year-old, and 5-year-old. That means I’m very comfortable with babies, toddlers, and preschoolers, and I’m CPR and First-Aid certified. For weekend and occasional weeknight babysitting, I bring the same experience and care: helping with potty training, following sleep routines, and driving children as needed. I love building a positive connection with kids quickly and keeping them engaged with fun, age-appropriate activities — so parents can enjoy their time out knowing everything is in good hands.
