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.

I truly love being a nanny and sitter because caring for children has always been a natural part of who I am. I find joy in creating a safe, nurturing environment where kids can grow, explore, and feel supported. Every child is unique, and I value the chance to bring out their creativity, confidence, and curiosity through play, learning, and consistency. I have decades of hands-on experience raising my own children as well as working with families in the U.S. and abroad. Over the years, I have cared for children of all ages from newborns and toddlers to school aged kids and teens with an emphasis on patience, positive communication, and encouragement. I understand the balance between structure and fun, and I know how to adapt to each family’s needs.

Barbara has been an exceptional babysitter for our 13-month-old. She is incredibly easy to work with, professional, responsive, and a natural caregiver. What stands out most is her intuition—she knows how to read and respond to our child's cues, especially when things don't go according to plan. We have complete trust in Barbara and always feel comfortable knowing our child is in her care. She is dependable, attentive, and genuinely invested in providing the best care possible. We highly recommend Barbara to any family looking for a skilled, trustworthy, and compassionate caregiver.

Hello! My name is Cat, and I am a Brooklyn native now living in Hudson, New York. I have been babysitting since my early teenage years, starting with neighbors and family friends and continuing throughout college. From a young age, I discovered an undeniable passion for working with children and babies, and that love has stayed with me throughout my career. I am currently working as a Licensed Massage Therapist and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. My education and professional experience have given me a strong understanding of child development, communication, and providing compassionate care. I absolutely love what I do, but I have always maintained a special place in my heart for childcare. My experience includes caring for children as young as 5 months through 10 years old, although I am comfortable caring for children of any age. I am nurturing, patient, responsible, and truly enjoy creating a fun, safe, and comfortable environment for the children in my care.

I currently work in daycare and have previous experience nannying three children, as well as two children under two. I’m experienced in meal prep, potty training, diapers, bedtime routines, crafts, learning activities, and homeschooling. I love keeping kids active with fun, age-appropriate activities, including trips to parks, libraries, and museums. I am CPR, First Aid, Medication, and EpiPen certified, with additional training in early childhood development. I’m currently looking to return to providing personalized childcare and am available full time weekday care along with weeknight and weekend babysitting. I truly love building meaningful relationships with children and treating every little one with the same care and attention I would give my own.References are available upon request!
