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.

Hi families! I’m Layla Brady, a 20-year-old CPR/AED/First Aid–certified caregiver with over 5 years of hands on babysitting experience. Growing up in a big, close-knit family and helping my mom in her daycare taught me how to care for little ones from infancy to the teenage years with patience, intention, and joy. I’m known for being charismatic, uplifting, and reliable, and I love creating safe, nurturing spaces where children can laugh, learn, and feel supported emotionally and physically. I also have a driver’s license (no personal vehicle at this time) and several years of customer-service experience, which has strengthened my communication and problem-solving skills. I’m open to nanny positions, including live-in opportunities with families who value faith, kindness, and mutual respect. While I am dedicated to the families I serve, I also cherish spending holidays with my own family. I’m excited to bring warmth, structure, and genuine care to your home!

Hello there! My name is Laura and I absolutely adore kids of all ages!! I have many years of experience and like to create a fun, safe and engaging experience where we learn and laugh! I have been through all the ups and downs of childcare… the sick days of fevers and crankiness, the trials of potty training, the phases of throwing toys, and the good where the kids say they love me and want to give me a big “squeezy” hug! I sure hope I am the perfect match for you and your kids! I am a perfectionist, almost to a fault, when it comes to home care. Everything will be EXACTLY the same every day when you get home. Counters will be wiped down, carpets and floors will be vacuumed and mopped as needed, dishes will always be taken care of and towels folded neatly in their spaces. Of course, this is done during either “nap time” or “down time”. I am a non-smoker, I have my own vehicle, I have experience with every day house cleaning, making meals, helping with homework, getting ready for school in the mornings, taking baths, doing laundry, taking care of sick children and administering medicines, inhalers, etc., changing bedding if there’s an accident, potty training and everything else. I never put my hands on children and no one ever should! I come highly referred and I am excited to meet my next family! I am currently looking for summer work, as my current family has a teacher parent that is off during the summer months.
