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 mother of 3 and stepmother of 4. I am 35 years old with many many years of experience in childcare. I have been a nanny, I've worked in schools, started babysitting at the early age of 12 and love having the opportunity to be home raising my children. My children are 11, 7 and 18 months. I am with my 18 month old daughter during the day and am looking to care for another child. I would love the opportunity to speak with you and hopefully I am what you are looking for. Thank you!

Hi my names Rori and I'm currently saving up to go to college to get my degree in child psychology and get my teaching certificate. I am offering childcare, pet care and house hold services.I love working with kids as it's one of the most rewarding jobs there are, teaching them about the world around them and helping them learn how to be a successful part of said world. l've been professionally working with kids for little over a year with responsibilities such as prepping meals, homework help, classroom activities and crafting activities. On top of that I have experience with all age groups thanks to babysitting and family gatherings for over 13 years now. I also have experience with specialized care for developmentally disabled children such as walking assistance, G-Tube change and priming, communication and de-escalation strategies.

Hello!! My name is Katie, I am from Dallas TX. I have been babysitting since I was about 12, nannying since I was 16, and worked at a daycare located inside of a country club for the past year, so I guess you could say I enjoy working with kids. I am a full-time student majoring in early childhood development in hopes of becoming a speech pathologist for primarily children. However, this semester all of my classes are online so I have a fairly open schedule. My passion has always been to work with kids and now I'm looking to start some new relationships with families just like you! I absolutely love animals, the outdoors, playing games, and much more. I would love to babysit/nanny for local families so please message me if you are interested!! I also have a list of references from past families that could tell you a little more about how I am as a sitter/nanny if needed. I hope to meet you soon!!

I’m a college student, and decided to do online this semester. I’m a youth leader at my church, and am studying to be a missionary! I’m the oldest of eight kids, so I’ve been around kids as long as I can remember and am the go to babysitter for some church members. I love being around children, they keep things interesting and caring for them is very rewarding and humbling. I look forward to hearing from you!
