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 am a stay at home mom to a beautiful 15 month old girl. She loves other children so childcare has been a great way for me to make money and still be able to care for her. My home is set up both outside and inside for safe play so I can watch children at my house or yours. While it is expired now I have taken cpr classes and have experience with children of all ages. I can of course provide excellent references upon request.

Hello! My name is Marion, and I am an experienced nanny originally from Estonia. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for children in various settings, and I truly love my profession. I’ve worked as an au pair in the U.S. for two wonderful, energetic boys—aged 2.5 and 5—where I was more like a second mom to them. I took them to doctor’s appointments, school events, and helped keep their daily routine running smoothly. Alongside my hands-on experience, I also completed extensive training in child care, first aid, and CPR, which has helped me stay prepared for any situation that may come up. Before becoming an au pair, I was a nanny for two toddler-aged girls, and I also frequently babysat two girls, ages 8 and 11, providing round-the-clock care when their parents traveled for business. As someone who’s passionate about board games, books, and spending quality time with kids, I think learning and fun go hand in hand. I’m easygoing, reliable, and fully understand how tough it can be to balance work and family life. My goal is to help parents in every way I can—whether that’s through hands-on childcare or helping out around the house. I aim to make your life easier, so you can focus on what matters most. Looking forward to talking to you!
