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.

We had an amazing experience with Valentina, who cared for our 1-year-old. She was attentive, patient, and incredibly nurturing. Our little one immediately warmed up to her, and we were impressed by how well she handled everything—from playtime to feeding and nap time. Valentina followed our instructions perfectly and kept us updated throughout the day, which gave us peace of mind. It’s clear she loves working with children and knows how to engage and comfort them. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring babysitter!

I had the pleasure of working with Ellie while traveling for work with my two boys (ages 2 and 4), who—like most little ones—can be a bit wild at times. From the very beginning, she gave me confidence by clearly communicating and committing to the timing well in advance, which was incredibly reassuring given the logistics of my trip. Throughout her time with the boys, she remained calm, patient, and attentive. It’s not always easy managing high energy and short attention spans, but she handled them with a steady, caring presence that made all the difference. I could tell she genuinely cared and took the role seriously, which allowed me to focus on my work knowing they were in good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to call on her again for future care. Highly recommended!
