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.

Cynthia was our nanny for 1.5 years. She developed an instant bond with our baby. She was attentive, organized playdates, and became a great friend to our whole family. We trusted her completely, and we never hesitated leaving our baby with Cynthia. We miss her so much and wish we still lived nearby. Any family is lucky to have Cynthia as their nanny.

Mutsumi is the best nanny anyone could ask for. She was with us for nearly 3 years and has become part of our family. Her creative teaching methods helped our son flourish. Everything from learning the alphabet, to counting, to reading, to music, to Japanese, she pushed the limits of what we thought was possible for a toddler. Mutsumi helped shape our son as he’s now ready for school. We cannot recommend Mutsumi highly enough!!

Saidy has been an amazing babysitter for our family since November. Our 15-month-old son absolutely loves her! She not only cares for him with warmth and patience but also teaches him Spanish, engages him in fun activities, and takes him on walks. We truly appreciate her dedication and the joy she brings to our little one’s day. We’re so grateful for her help and highly recommend her!

I have been working with children since I was 16 years old from ages 4 months- 12 years old. I grew up as one of the oldest to many cousins and loved going to work with my mother who was a teacher, which is where my passion started. I started babysitting at 16 and have been working in childcare programs since 2019. I started at a daycare in 2019 working with children from age 5 months to 13 years old. I worked at a special needs pre-K for two years and I am now working as a prek teacher’s assistant in an elementary school. I have also part-time worked with a 19-year-old with Rhett syndrome. I enjoy providing engaging activities where children can also learn through play! I have my CPR and first aid certificate. I’m looking for a full-time position and would be available to start mid June. I am looking forward to speaking to you!!
