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.

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! My name's Mary and I am 23 years old. I began working with children at the age of 14 with babysitting and then at the age of 16 I got a job at a before and after day care program. I worked there throughout high school and continued on every summer once I started college. I have my Bachelor’s in Psychology and am currently getting my Master’s online in Educational Psychology to become a behavior specialist. I have been through multiple trainings, including CPR and First Aid but my cards have just expired. Through personal experience, I have grown up with a younger brother who has autism and a younger sister who has a strict medicine schedule so I do have that experience as well. If you have any questions feel free to send me a message, thanks!

Encouraging developmental growth through a caring, loving safe environment. I am a fun loving, grandmother of three grandchildren in which I enjoy actively doing things with and spending time with them. I was recently helping take care of my own grandchildren and other daycare children, as I find it extremely rewarding to do something that I love. I have worked in the childcare business for over 28 years, working in childcare centers, in private homes, and in my own in-home daycare. I am looking to provide the highest personalized quality care that is child-centered within a caring, warm, and safe environment that helps children to develop socially, physically, emotionally, and cognitively, while being flexible to the needs of busy working families at affordable prices without sacrificing the child’s needs as decided by parents who know their child best. First aid and CPR trained and updated regularly. I have outstanding references Thank you for taking the time to read about me. Have a wonderful day.
