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 my name is Victoria! I have babysat for a little over 4 years and had a job as a nanny for the past 3 summers talking care of two children ages 4-9. I love working with children and overall hanging out with them! I love to do things that keep the kids active! Like going outside, doing a craft, or playing a game. For the families I have babysat for in the past, I have helped clean/tidy up the house, helped the children with homework, and cook for the kids as well! I would say that I am super responsible and my years of babysitting have definitely contributed to that! I am a college student at the moment so my hours are definitely flexible, but I am still pretty busy! I am looking for something lowkey as of now. I do not have my car with me, but I do have a license!

I love being a babysitter because caring for children genuinely comes naturally to me—it’s something I truly enjoy and take pride in. I have hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, with a special love for infants and toddlers, from feeding and diaper changes to nap routines, playtime, and helping them feel safe and comforted. I’m patient, nurturing, attentive, and very in tune with children’s needs, whether that means keeping them engaged with age-appropriate activities or offering extra reassurance and affection when they need it. I’m responsible, dependable, and always focused on creating a calm, fun, and safe environment where children can grow and thrive. I’m comfortable following schedules and instructions closely, communicating clearly with parents, and adapting to each child’s unique personality. While I especially adore caring for babies and toddlers, I truly love working with children of all ages and building trust with both kids and parents alike.

I’ve loved working with kids ever since I was one myself, and babysitting has been a rewarding part of my life for the past 8 years, caring for children ranging from infants to pre-teens. In addition to babysitting, I’ve coached tennis to kids ages 4 to 14 for the past 3 years, where I developed strong problem-solving skills and learned how to connect and communicate effectively and positively with children of different ages. Currently, I’m an incoming junior at the University of Oregon, studying Global Studies with a double minor in Spanish and Family and Human Services. I will be home this summer in Cary, NC from July 9th until early September and am interested in nannying/sitting opportunities. My hours can be flexible depending on need! I’m committed to creating safe and welcoming environments where kids feel happy and supported. I believe every child deserves a sitter who’s not only responsible but also genuinely enjoys spending time with them, making sure they have fun while being well cared for!
