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.

I am a mature, responsible woman with well over a decade of experience caring for children as young as 5 days old to teenagers and everything in between. I have worked with children on the spectrum, so I am comfortable with special needs as well. I have reliable transportation and a clean driving history. I cook. I clean. I do whatever is required so that the families I work with have their requirements met. I am very flexible regarding days and times. I am good natured and patient. I enjoy being around children and always hope to impact them in positive ways. Comfortable with pets should that be an issue. I guess the main service I provide is peace of mind for the parents, that they know when they are away from their precious children, those children are absolutely safe and well cared for.

Michelle was very accommodating and worked well with our children ages 5-14. She was on time and did a good job of both being fun and setting good boundaries. I highly recommend her.

I have been caring for children over ten years. I’m a mother of 3 grownup children of my own. I enjoy working with children and watching them grow. My last position was with a family for 1 1/2 years they moved out of state. I took care of their daughter since she was about 4 months old. I’m currently taking care of another girl since she was an infant . She is five now and goes to daycare the rest of the week. I was taking care of two boys also but that came to an end when covic came around. I can prepare meals and do laundry and even help with pets if needed.

Lorraine was our full time nanny from when our daughter was 6 months - 2 years old. She was always very engaged with our daughter - playing, coloring and teaching her things. Lorraine is also very reliable and never showed up late. She was flexible to our schedule when we needed changes or a longer stay. We feel very fortunate to have had Lorraine be a part of our daughters life!

Hi! My name is Brianna Williams, and I recently graduated with a deep passion for caring for children. Growing up, I experienced a lot at a young age — after losing my mom and with my dad no longer in the picture, I stepped into a caregiving role for my younger siblings. That experience shaped who I am today: nurturing, responsible, and incredibly patient. I’ve always found joy in helping children feel safe, supported, and happy. In addition to caring for my siblings, I’ve also babysat for family, friends, and neighbors, gaining experience with children of different ages and needs. I’m trained in basic CPR and first aid, and I bring a calm, dependable presence to every family I work with. Whether it’s helping with routines, engaging in creative play, or just being someone a child can trust, I truly love what I do.
