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.

Hi! I'm a junior at Penn State and have been babysitting for dozens of families over the past few years. This past summer, I worked as a lead day camp counselor, so I’m comfortable keeping kids entertained, safe, and happy all day long. I also have experience with pet sitting and have fostered dogs in the past, so I’m always happy to help with pets, too. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have my own car, and can run errands or take the kids out for fun adventures. I really enjoy spending time with kids and helping families out, however I can. Looking forward to meeting yours!
