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.

Ms. Ashley watched our 3 kids ages 5, 4, and 2 years old for 8 hours and did an amazing job. I had contacted her in such short notice and she was still able to accommodate our needs. From the moment she stepped through the door she immediately tended to our 3 girls. After she had left our kids could not stop talking about how nice she was and the different activities they did throughout the day, all in a hotel room! She kept us updated throughout the day as well. I would highly recommend Ashley! Thank you again Ms. Ashley!

I absolutely adore children and I have been a sitter for most of my life. If you are in need of an evening out or simply to run errands, then look no further. I also have the freedom to be able to assist with your out-of-town needs. I have been with Sittercity for 10+ years and I am actively looking for a few families to add for a part time nanny position or occasional sitting It is difficult to find the time to relax on a "date" if you don't have a reliable sitter. Well, that's me. I am a non-smoker, own my own 2012 AWD crossover, college educated, and love children. I also have a 10 year clean driving record, Act 33/34 Clearances and current references, as well as CPR certified. If you would like further information, please get back to me and I willy quickly respond'

Hello, I’m Maggie! I am a recent graduate from the University of Pittsburgh, where I majored in Administration of Justice and Legal Studies. My love for law and working with children sparked my interest in Juvenile Justice, which made me switch from my initial major of psychology. I have been babysitting since I was about 13, and I have always loved working with kids. Over the past two years I’ve worked with children in a preschool setting as an assistant teacher at the Waldorf School of Pittsburgh. If you have any other questions, or would like to get to know me better, feel free to message me!

Maria’s approach to childcare is kind, knowledgeable, respectful and creative. From the start, she was responsible, communicative and punctual. She listened to our needs and goals, and then collaborated on a plan for our child. She quickly implemented learning, routines and schedules, while keeping us in the loop on what was working and what we may need to reconsider. We saw a noticeable, positive change in our child’s development. Maria is extremely attentive to a child’s needs while also promoting independence and self-confidence. She is highly knowledge and experienced with early childhood development skills and techniques. On a personal note, it was very clear that she cared deeply about the wellbeing of our child. Her kindness and loving nature helped our child develop trust in her and seeing that connection was more than we could have asked for. I would highly recommend her as a sitter or nanny!
