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.

Hello my name is Kiarra I am 23 years old and I have a bachelors degree in psychology which I plan to use and work with kids in the future because I absolutely love them! However things are on a bit of a hold because I’ve welcomed my own bundle of joy into the world this past April and I’m trying to save a bit while staying home. I have been a babysitter since I was 9 years old and I have also worked at a few daycares where I would run classrooms and come up with fun activities for the kids to do. From working in the daycare I have all of my clearances and some training, I am very cautious and responsible and will care for your kids and ensure their safety, as well as fun, at all times as if they were my own! I look forward to helping!

Hi! I’m a passionate and energetic caregiver with a strong background in early childhood education and hands-on experience caring for children from 6 weeks to 8 years old. I’m 20 years old and have previously worked as an elementary school substitute teacher, where I gained valuable classroom and behavioral management skills. I truly love working with kids — whether it’s going on little adventures, getting creative with crafts, or exploring new things together. I believe every day is an opportunity to learn and grow, and I enjoy both teaching children new skills and discovering the world through their eyes. I’m reliable, patient, and nurturing — and I always strive to create a fun, safe, and supportive environment where children feel encouraged and cared for.
