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.

Hello I am a retired Spanish teacher. I would love to help working parents juggle the schedule with the kids. I was a working parent myself and I understand. I taught Spanish and German to students grades 4 through 12. I am currently helping a family with early morning childcare. I enjoy volunteering at animal friends, reading and shopping at Target.! I enjoy visiting local coffee shops too with my friends. I have a 19 year old daughter studying civil engineering at Pitt and visit her on the weekends to supply food and money! I’m professional and reliable. I would love to help your family. Diane

I was a stay at home mom from 1986 to 1993. I also cared for other children in addition to my children. At the most, I had 3 under age 2 as well as my daughter and son. In 2004, I also opted to stay home while my daughter was finishing high school and preparing for college. At the time I provided daycare for 3 children in my home ages 4, 1 1/2 & an infant. Recently (within last 18 months) I have occasionally cared for my companion's grandson who just turned 2 in May.

I’m an experienced mother of 3. I have all my clearances and references. I love children of all ages. Children seem to love me. Probably because I like to be silly and play a lot. I’ve been taking care of children most of my life.

Fun, loving nanny & childcare provider with 11 years of experience who truly loves kids. Doodle mom, pharmacy tech, florist, nature lover, and founder of a women's wellness organization in Pittsburgh. I'm big on safety, communication, and fun (in that order - but fun is still very important). I'm the nanny who's hands-on, on the floor playing, encouraging learning, creativity, and curiosity. I don't just "watch" kids - I engage, teach, and make sure your child feels safe, supported, and happy while having a great time. I look forward to hearing from you!
