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 enjoy working with children because they show the brightness of the day. They always say what’s on their mind and always bring joy. I have been nannying/ babysitting since I was a sophomore in high school, throughout college I still worked with multiple families (at least 2-3 kids per family) and it was my favorite part of the day. I have my bachelors degree in health sciences and certifications in first aid CPR. I have a kind young heart and I am very creative and passionate when I’m working with kids. I love to do things outside and or play with creativity. I also played lacrosse in college so I am athletic and love teaching kids new sports :)

I would love to be a sitter because I have 5 nieces of my own and have always found it incredibly easy to connect to kids. I am also currently in college to be a early childhood educator and so I am very passionate in child development and creating an environment of love and safety to children to grow in. I am currently employed by a daycare in Morgantown, well I love my job. I would love something a bit more personal, which is why I’m looking for a Babysitting opportunity.
