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.

We traveled into the area for a family wedding, and Anastasia was an amazing babysitter for our group of 5 kids from multiple families. She brought fun activities for them to do in the hotel, played games outside, took them swimming in the hotel pool, and ordered & fed them dinner. Our kids had a blast and raved about Anastasia . She was a great communicator during the hiring process and throughout our event. We highly recommend her to others!

I have a passion for providing tender loving care for babies as they grow and develop. I am a warm, patient, and dedicated person who loves caring for infants…As the oldest of 8 children, having many cousins ,volunteering to help out young moms and officially babysitting 2 children under 2 years of age as a job,(Please see my review), I have had a lifetime experience of relating to infants and it isn’t ’just a job’ to me. My own hysterectomy came as a surprise blow, but now I find purpose in providing childcare for others…I have done CPR and First Aid Trainings in the past which I am completing again for refreshment of skills and for the honor of getting the badge! I also completed a Basic Criminal Check. I did the Motor Vehicle Records Check and you can contact me for those records. I can work with you and your work schedule.I look forward to meeting you and your little precious!🥰

Alissa was amazing with my kids. They looked forward to seeing her every day, and some days they didn’t want to leave when I came to pick them up. She went above and beyond in her care of them. She was always looking for ways to make them happy, and made them feel so special when they were in her care. We loved Alissa and were sad to lose her when she had to move.

### About Me Hi! My name is Savannah, and I’m an experienced childcare professional who genuinely loves working with children. I have hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and preschool-age children in a childcare setting, and I really enjoy getting to know each child and their unique personality. I have experience with infant care including feeding, diapering, naps, tummy time, and age-appropriate play. With toddlers and preschoolers, I enjoy encouraging their growing independence, helping them learn through play, and creating fun activities that support their development. I’m patient, caring, dependable, and attentive. I understand that every child has different needs, routines, and personalities, and I do my best to provide care that makes each child feel safe, comfortable, loved, and supported. I also know how important communication and trust are for parents. I want families to feel confident knowing their children are being cared for by someone who genuinely enjoys what they do and treats every child with kindness and respect. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted part of your family!
