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 started babysitting when I was 12 as my first job and I just fell in love with it and have been doing it ever since! Working with kids has it’s challenges but I find the pros always outweigh the cons. I am I fun, active and patient person who loves to go with the flow. My hobbies include hiking, scrapbooking and exploring new places. I’m always down for an adventure! I have found that my personality and my passion for teaching children has helped me become a really great nanny. While I still am a nanny part time, I am looking to add some extra hours to my schedule if the right family thinks I might be a good fit.

Hi! I’m Alison, a dedicated childcare provider with over four years of hands-on experience working with children from newborns to age 12 and beyond. Childcare has been at the heart of my life and career. I’ve worked in a daycare for four years, spent my summers nannying, and currently teach summer school (going on year two!) — all while pursuing my degree in elementary education. In just a year, I’ll officially be a certified elementary school teacher! I’m also proudly bilingual in English and Spanish, allowing me to connect with children and families on a deeper level, and even help little ones develop early language skills in both languages. Whether it’s storytime, arts & crafts, creative play, or helping with routines, my goal is always the same: to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where your children can learn, grow, and thrive. Let’s work together to make wonderful memories for your child — and give you peace of mind every step of the way.

I’ve always loved working with children which is why I chose to pursue a teaching career and have been a preschool teacher for 8 years now and currently learning to be a midwife’s assistant. I love being creative and be inspired by a child’s limitless imagination. I’ve worked in an outdoor play based program and love being outdoors and just having fun! I take pride in being able to hold space for children to be their true authentic selves.
