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.

I am a reliable, caring babysitter of 8+ years looking for some little ones to care for. I have been around children my entire life and have worked the past 4 years as a nanny. While I have cared for newborns to pre-teens, I really love babysitting babies and toddlers. I am looking to get in some more weekend and evening work.

Hey!! I'm Mackenzye, I'm 21 and I have been babysitting since I was 9. I know some of you are probably wondering "Who let a 9 year old babysit?", it was my baby brother and my 6 year old sister at the time. I've been babysitting ever since. Most recently I have babysat 2 year old twins. I have 5 siblings so I'm pretty good in chaotic environments with multiple kids. Since I started babysitting so young I feel like I have a unique perspective. I feel like I can also relate to the kids pretty well. I graduated high school a few years and during my last year I helped out in a 4th grade classroom so I got to know what kids are into these days. I’ve also worked as a bus aide and a kindergarten teachers aide.

I am a student at Suny Purchase studying Literature and Psychology and I am home for the summer in upstate NY. I have been caring for children since I was 12 and find it one of the most rewarding and enjoyable jobs. I really enjoy connecting with the kids and seeing them grow while I care for them. I have cared for children of all ages from newborn up to 12 year olds and have many references upon request for children of any age. This summer I am looking for full time or part time babysitting jobs with great kids.
