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.

After 32 years of teaching K-6, I’m trading my classroom for a home setting to provide more personalized, one-on-one care. I offer a unique "nanny-teacher" hybrid approach, blending decades of child development expertise with a warm, nurturing environment. I am also a grandmother to 2 toddlers and a 5 month old, so I have experience at those ages as well. I will be retiring in June 2026 and I am looking for a flexible family with part- time hours.

Hi! I’ve been working with children since I was 16. For about 8 years I worked as a teacher assistant for preschools with special needs. I enjoy doing educational activities and crafts instead of sitting the children in from of the tv or tablet.

Hi! I spent just under 2 years working in a daycare setting along with the last 5 or so years babysitting. I love the idea of learning through play and help bring out a child’s creative side. I also just love the general relationships created with not only the children but also their families.

Nurturing children and witnessing their growth has been my passion for the past four years. My experience in childcare has shown me how rewarding it is to make a positive impact on a child's life while supporting families with reliable care. I am a patient, creative, and approachable caregiver who truly enjoys connecting with little ones. Whether we are playing outdoor sports, solving puzzles, or engaging in educational games, I love fostering a fun and learning-filled environment. I am comfortable caring for up to three children, ranging from infants to school-aged, and l am happy to assist with meal preparation. I maintain CPR training and follow your preferred communication methods and household rules to ensure consistency. I look forward to bringing my dedication and energy to your family, where I hope to become a trusted partner in your child's daily adventures.
