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.

Hello! :) My name is Charity, and I love kids. I've been raised around babies and small children my whole life as well as have 3 siblings. I've babysat for at least 2 families on a fairly regular basis, as well as babysat lots of other kiddos! I'm a junior in college studying Elementary Education and can't wait one day to have my own little ones. I treat every kid as I would my own. I'd love to find a family who could use help especially during the summer or whenever I'm available. I'm not certified, however I did have some first aid training in high-school, and can definitely get references if you have any questions. :)

Hi, my name is Emily! I have loved caring for children from a young age and have many years of hands on experience with infants and toddlers. I am a mom to a 3 year old, a certified doula, and a lactation counselor. I am also certified in CPR/AED/First Aid through the Red Cross. I have a clean driving record and reliable transportation. I use authoritative (aka gentle) parenting methods with my son, and would like to find a family with similar parenting beliefs. I prioritize firm but loving boundaries to keep kids safe. I am comfortable doing light meal prep, and light housekeeping. We are a low to no screen time family, and I love to facilitate screen free fun by playing outside, making crafts, building with blocks, or involving little ones in the kitchen. In my free time, I enjoy coloring, knitting, crocheting, reading, and spending time with my family and pets. Before having my son, I worked as a veterinary technician and fostered kittens for a non profit, so I am definitely comfortable with pets! I am naturally a calm and patient person, even in the midst of chaos. I am very reliable and a strong communicator. I have always been a nurturer, and aim to provide a fun, loving, and consistent environment for children to learn and grow. I can’t wait to connect, and see if we’re a good fit!
