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, my name is Elma! I’ve been a nanny for over five years now. I’m currently a nanny to two twin infants. I cared for another family before this one for about four years and watched them grow. Simultaneously, I’ve done one time and part time babysitting jobs during my evenings and weekends, which is what I’m currently seeking for now! If you’re interested, feel free to message me. I graduated from Moravian College in 2021 with my psychology degree. I have experience with childhood psychology education and also just one on one experience from my care as a nanny over the years. I worked at the YMCA as an assistant teacher when I was in college as well!

Elma stepped in on short notice to help us while our nanny was away. She was wonderful with our daughter and quickly adapted to our household. We'd hire her again without a second thought.

Hello! I'm Elizabeth and I'm an experienced caregiver with toddlers, preschoolers, and younger school-age kiddos! I'm experienced with the elderly as well, I'm CNA trained. At age 16, my first job was at A Step Ahead Child Care Center in Schuylkill Haven, where I gained my experience with toddlers and preschoolers. And I've gained more experience ever since. The owners of said daycare are now retired, and my boss/ owner of the daycare will forever be my greatest reference.

I am a high school graduate, who has many years of experience with nannying/babysitting. I have been nannying for a family for the past 4 years but as the kids get older the family has needed less help. I come from a family of ten with seven sisters and two brothers. I have many nieces and nephews that I take care of, so watching kids is kind of my thing 😂. I’m first aid, CPR, and AED certified. In the future I plan to become a labor and deliver nurse!

I enjoy being a sitter because I love helping children feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and small children, including feeding, diaper changes, comforting crying babies, and helping with daily care routines. I can also assist with children’s hygiene, getting ready for the day, and basic hair care. I am patient, attentive, and responsible, and I understand the importance of following parents’ instructions and routines. I graduated from a Public Safety and Security program and have training in CPR/AED, BLS Healthcare Provider, Stop the Bleed, Hazmat First Responder Awareness, and OSHA safety. My training has taught me the importance of safety, preparedness, and staying calm in different situations. I want families to feel comfortable and confident knowing their children are being cared for with patience and attention. I am also comfortable around pets.
