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.

Julia is an excellent babysitter who is very active with our girls. She is always on on time, pleasant and our girls just love her. They are always asking when Julia can come back next. She never hesitates to facetime us if there are questions and remembers our daughters’ dietary restrictions to keep her safe. If you’re looking for someone to keep your mind at ease while you enjoy a date night or need someone to help for any other reason - we highly recommend Julia!

We loved working with Danielle. As new parents with a baby that arrived 3 weeks early, she was such a great resource! Not to mention our baby boy fell asleep in her arms the first time he met her. Danielle gave me great peace of mind as a new mom heading back to work. I would highly recommend Danielle a your little ones would be in great and experienced hands.

I have a passion for providing tender loving care for babies as they grow and develop. I am a warm, patient, and dedicated person who loves caring for infants…As the oldest of 8 children, having many cousins ,volunteering to help out young moms and officially babysitting 2 children under 2 years of age as a job,(Please see my review), I have had a lifetime experience of relating to infants and it isn’t ’just a job’ to me. I find purpose in providing childcare for others…I have done CPR and First Aid Trainings in the past which I am completing again for refreshment of skills and for the honor of getting the badge! I also completed a Basic Criminal Check. I did the Motor Vehicle Records Check and you can contact me for those records. I can work with you and your work schedule.I look forward to meeting you and your little precious!🥰

Alissa was amazing with my kids. They looked forward to seeing her every day, and some days they didn’t want to leave when I came to pick them up. She went above and beyond in her care of them. She was always looking for ways to make them happy, and made them feel so special when they were in her care. We loved Alissa and were sad to lose her when she had to move.

Sherri was a great nanny to our son from 4 months to 1 year old. She was very attentive with him and became part of our family. You can clearly see that she loves babies/children. She also sat for our 5 and 9 year old for date nights and they absolutely loved her and had so much fun. She brought all of her background/certification info the first day and was very organized with that. I would highly recommend Sherri as a nanny.

We were very pleased, she was running around chasing out boys (1 and 3) as soon as she got in the door. Asked lots of questions so as to not bother us during the night. Thank you!

Hello! My name is Zhabree! I am currently working at a daycare and would love a more personal approach to child care. I have always had such a strong love for kids for as long as I can recall.

I have been a sitter for 6+ years, as I have babysat kids in my neighborhood, as well as within my own family. I have experience with every age group from newborns to teens. I love playing games and being active with the kids as well as getting involved during playtime, outdoor time, and my favorite: arts & crafts! I believe in no screen time with younger kids, unless it is the end of the night & parents are okay with a movie, as I am always involved & hands-on. I am great at handling conflicts, if they are to ever arise between siblings, and am a skilled mediator if ever needed.
