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.

Hi! I recently returned from six-months abroad training as a missionary in Australia. I've had prior experience as a traveling nanny of an infant (5-10 months old) for a traveling nurse of a high-profile client. I'm skilled at house-keeping, meal-prepping, diaper-changes and I've babysat children of all ages. I've also had experience as a youth advisor/mentor to high-school students at the church I grew up going to. I love to get creative with kids making crafts, doing hands-on learning, and love the outdoors. I am joyful, highly-organized, and patient-which can be attributed to my faith in Jesus. I'm looking for a live-in nanny position where I can support the family and their schedule and help life to run as smoothly as possible! Please feel free to contact me for a reference or to set up a call!

Hi! My names Alivia but feel free to call me Liv! I’ve been caring for kids for over 7 years, and it’s truly something I’ve always loved. I’ve babysat for families with kids of all ages, volunteered as a Sunday school teacher and youth group leader, and even worked as a summer camp counselor — so I’m very comfortable keeping kids engaged, happy, and safe. Becoming a mom has made me appreciate the little things even more — I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your child. My approach to childcare is all about being kind, patient, and encouraging. I believe kids thrive when they feel heard, supported, and free to be themselves — whether that means crafting, exploring outside, or just having fun with their favorite toys. I’m reliable, nurturing, and love creating a positive, calm space for kids. I’d love to help out and get to know your family!
