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 love having Isa watch our almost 5yo and almost 1yo boys. She’s great with both of them, and very good at giving the older one the attention he needs while of course focusing on keeping the 1yo safe and happy!

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.
