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 everyone! My name is Lily, and I’m looking for nannying or babysitting opportunities in the Queensbury/Glens Falls area this summer through the end of August. I graduated from Queensbury High School in 2025 and am currently a student at Boston University studying speech pathology. I have experience working with children as both a gymnastics instructor and a camp counselor at the Glens Falls YMCA, where I gained experience creating fun, active, and safe environments for kids of different ages. I love keeping kids engaged through outdoor activities, crafts, games, and fun learning experiences, and I’m happy to help with meals, playtime, routines, and transportation if needed. I’m responsible, dependable, and genuinely enjoy working with children! Please feel free to message me if you or someone you know is looking for summer childcare 😊

I am good with children and making them happy. I enjoy being around them and watching over them and teaching them. I have been babysitting since I was 13 and I really enjoy doing it. I enjoy playing video games and going to places to let kids have fun. I have helped my mom's friends potty train their kids and I have also changed a lot of diapers. What I like most about young children is that they have a lot to say although most of the time it doesn't make since but because they are young its really interesting listening to what they have to say. I also enjoy playing bored games and going outside as well.

Hello, I am currently employed full-time as a Teaching Assistant in the Saratoga Springs City School District. However, I am interested in occasional babysitting on the weekends or for date nights. I have outstanding contact references and over 30+ years of experience working with children of all ages from infants to teens. I am dependable, caring, creative, patient, and energetic. In addition, I have a master's degree in Elementary Education. I have always had a natural rapport with children and always knew that I wanted to work with children in some capacity. My past work history includes: preschool teacher; pre-k teacher; substitute teacher; camp counselor; activities director; tutor; and full-time nanny. I truly love working with children. As a babysitter, I enjoy engaging children in arts and crafts, games and outdoor activities. I love to swim and read. I like planning outings to places such as the beach, playground, library and ice skating, etc. I always do my best to provide high quality childcare. Sincerely, Mary Turner

Hi! I’m a reliable, experienced caregiver and a proud mom of three amazing kids (ages 12, 9, and 3), so I truly understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for children of all ages. I have over 4 years of paid experience as a nanny and part-time babysitter, along with many additional years caring for nieces, nephews, and cousins. I’m CPR and First Aid certified through the American Safety and Health Institute, and safety is always my top priority. I’m happy to support families in whatever way they need, whether that’s preparing meals, light housekeeping, laundry, or helping with homework. I love keeping kids engaged with arts and crafts, outdoor play, activities, and sports, and I always aim to create a positive, structured, and enjoyable routine. I also love all types of animals and am happy to help with pet care, including dog walking. Getting fresh air with kids and pets is something I truly enjoy, and I’m always glad to incorporate outdoor time into our day. I have a reliable 2021 Honda Pilot and a clean driving record, so I’m available for school pick-ups and drop-offs, appointments, and extracurricular activities. I’m dependable, organized, and genuinely love working with children. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and help your kids learn, grow, and have fun!
