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 had Renata work for me on occasion for the past few years, while she was also working full time for a friend of mine. I am a stay at home mom so I don't need full time help, but if I did get a "9-5 job", Renata would be my first call. She is what a standard caretaker should be like. Always on time, extremely reliable, joy to be around, patient, caring...what else could you possibly ask for? My kids love her, run to her arms as soon as she comes through the door, excitedly tell me everything they've been up to while I'm away. I can relax when I'm not home because I know my kids are being taken care of by a true professional. I highly recommend her. Yvonne

I am highly recommend Sandra R. to anyone needing childcare based on her time working with our family as an after-school caregiver and driver for our son. Sandra was responsible for picking up our 5-year-old son from preschool each weekday and safely transporting him home. From the very beginning, she demonstrated professionalism, reliability, and genuine care for our child. Before accepting the position, Sandra requested to meet our family in person, which immediately showed her commitment to ensuring a good fit and establishing trust with both parents and child. Throughout the time she worked with us, Sandra was exceptionally dependable. She was always punctual and, most importantly, she never canceled on us. As working parents, knowing we could count on her every day provided tremendous peace of mind. On the rare occasions when our plans changed unexpectedly, Sandra was flexible and accommodating, making every effort to help us adjust on short notice. Sandra has a natural ability to connect with children. She consistently engaged our son in conversation, making the daily pickup and ride home an enjoyable experience rather than just a transportation service. He looked forward to seeing her each day and was always comfortable in her care. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his well-being and happiness. In addition to being reliable and caring, Sandra frequently went above and beyond what was expected. On several occasions, she thoughtfully brought homemade food for our family, a gesture that reflected her kindness and generosity. Her warmth and dedication were evident in everything she did. Sandra was always professional, trustworthy, and safety-conscious. Her background in education and extensive childcare experience were apparent in the way she interacted with our child and handled her responsibilities. We always felt confident that our son was in safe and capable hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Sandra to any family seeking a dependable, caring, and experienced caregiver. She has been a wonderful support to our family, and I am confident she will be an asset to any household fortunate enough to work with her. Sincerely, Craig Pearl River, NY
