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.

My name is Sadie! I've worked as a Summer nanny for three summers now and the occasional date night babysitter for five years. My kiddos keep growing up so I am back on the hunt for a Summer job! I graduate May 2026 from West Chester University with a degree in Special Education and will be certified K-12. Because of working in the school setting, I have all my up to date clearances that I would be happy to provide when requested. I will be moving to the Reading area in late May/early June and would love to have a job lined up! Overall, I would love the chance to provide your family with a fun and safe summer! Please reach out with any questions! - Sadie Steinhauer

Hi! My name is Summer and I am currently a student at Lock Haven University! My plans are to become a Physician Assistant working in Pediatrics. I absolutely love working with kids and doing many activities from crafts, playing outside, to making meals for them! I am also able to do housework, including dishes, cleaning, laundry, etc. If able, I am more than willing to drive the children somewhere for fun activities!

Hi there, I’m Brooklyn Grace! I’ve worked with children for the past 4 years at the age of 18! I went to secondary schooling called LYCOCTC for Early Childhood education. I have many certificates relating to the subject that I’ve gathered over the past 3 years in the program. After Highschool I worked at a private school for a couple months with younger children! I have a deep passion for caring for children and making sure that they’re safe, comfortable, happy, and most importantly healthy! I’m more than willing to do overnights, early mornings, or just after school hours!
