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!

Hi - my name is Micah! My husband and I have lived in California the past few years but now are moving back to PA! I have had the pleasure of being a full time nanny for families on the west coast which has added to my experience with infants and toddlers. I was born and raised in PA and come from a family with 7 kids. I started working in the nursery at my church at a young age and when I was 13 years old I started nannying during the summers. My passion for kids has taken me overseas to help with schools in other countries and I love being with my nieces and nephews in my spare time. It brings me joy to watch kids grow and help them achieve great things! I am very interested in this position and would love to speak further! Thank you.

Hi! My name is Isabel, and I have over 5 years of babysitting experience caring for children of all ages—from infants and toddlers to older kids. As the oldest of four, I grew up helping care for my younger siblings, which shaped my patience, responsibility, and ability to keep kids engaged and safe. I have a bachelor’s degree in Biology and French Studies, and I enjoy bringing creativity and curiosity into my time with kids through crafts, outdoor play, and homework help. I am CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, and always prioritize creating a safe, supportive environment. In addition to childcare, I have extensive experience with pet sitting, house sitting, and plant care, and I’m happy to help keep your home running smoothly. I have my own reliable transportation and am comfortable driving children to activities or planning fun outings. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy building positive relationships with both kids and families—I’d love to connect and see if I’d be a good fit for your family!

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.
