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.

Hey everyone. I have a ton of experience love animals and children of all ages I do prefer to begin with younger children(infants, preschoolers and s hool aged children) it's fun however, with my patience, humor and common sense I can handle anything. So ready to take care of your children I took some time off due to a position ending and now I want to return. I miss my daily routine, reading, being outdoors, learning activities, going for walks, tummy time (if infant), games, puzzles and interactive play. I love to laugh have fun and mix it up with learning activities. I am reliable, have a clean background on file and cpr first aid certified, tdap, flu and I'm vacinated for covid. Please reach out if this interests you. Thanks for reading! Also, I have a reliable car..

Dora is by far the best companion that I have found for my mother who suffers from dimentia. Dora is always prompt, intelligent, dependable, and trustworthy. She is constantly doing more than I ask. I would highly recommend Dora as a caregiver/companion for your loved one. I consider her my friend now and appreciate the peace of mind I have when I need a break from my mother.

Simone is an exceptional caregiver — warm, loving, and deeply attentive to the children in her care. She began looking after our daughter when she was just 4 months old, and from the very start she showed a natural ability to engage, nurture, and bond with her. Our toddler son adores her just as much. She was always reliable, punctual, and even helped keep the house organized — which as any parent knows, is a lifesaver. We are going to miss her so, so much. She became a part of our family, and whoever is lucky enough to have her next is in truly wonderful hands. We recommend her without any hesitation! ❤️

28 y/o. I've been a nanny for more than a decade now, with experience caring for children ages 1-16. I will ensure your child has the best time while being safe. I can provide child abuse clearances upon request, strong references, and I have no problem taking a drug test. Hablo español intermedio. I'm currently a nanny to three awesome little girls in Wayne, therefore, I do have limited availability during this week at this time. However, I'm always happy to help wherever I can, so please feel free to reach out to see if I can accommodate your needs.

Hello, my name is Jenn and I'm a 52 year old mom with lots of childcare experience. I'm fun, caring, compassionate, easy going, responsible, and reliable. I absolutely adore children of all ages and have cared for newborns to school age children. I like to teach through playing and help kids reach their age appropriate milestones. I've worked with special needs in the past. And I've helped with speech delays. I know baby, children, and adult CPR although last certified in 2020. I'm extremely clean and always tidying up. I cook very well also! I'd prefer hours around 8am-4pm but I'm absolutely flexible. I'm with a wonderful family I've been with for a little over 2 years. I've been blessed with loving and caring for a 2.5 yr old and 10 month old, but mom has been blessed and leaving work to stay home with kiddos. So with a broken heart I'm available mid March.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Gleice for about a month now, and we’ve been very happy with the experience. Gleice has been consistently punctual and reliable, which gives us great peace of mind. Communication has been excellent. Gleice is responsive, clear, and keep us well informed. We especially appreciate her gentle, calm, and nurturing demeanor, which helps our son feel comfortable and secure. Her responsibilities include age-appropriate indoor play with our 3 month old son, bottle feeding, diaper changes and assisting with contact naps, all handled with great care and attentiveness. She is familiar with the Huckleberry app. Gleice also have a strong attention to detail and excellent observational skills. For instance, she noticed subtle changes in our son, like slight eyelid drooping and a tendency to favor one side when turning his head. We feel very fortunate to have found someone so dependable, trustworthy and caring, and we would highly recommend Gleice to any family!

Hi! I'm a licensed attorney who is 37 years old, I grew up as a pool/beach lifeguard and am currently certified in first aid and CPR. I came from an Irish Catholic family in the DC area and moved to Philly recently. I am trying to find a position as I look for local jobs in my field (but would of course give 2 weeks - 1 month notice). I have passed a public clearance while working for the DOJ but it has since expired; I am open to paying for the extensive background checks but would prefer to have a lead before making those purchases. Thanks! Sam
