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.

I have also been called upon to babysit my friends' children since I am the eternal "aunt". I am compassionate, educated and crafty.

Why I Love Being a Sitter: I have always loved working with children. Coming from a big family, I’ve spent so much time with my siblings, and as they’ve grown older, I’ve realized how much I miss being around little ones and helping them learn and discover new things every day. Being a sitter allows me to make a positive impact in children’s lives while enjoying the joy and curiosity they bring. Experience: I have been working with children since 2019. Currently, I work at a daycare with infants, where my responsibilities include feeding, changing, putting them to sleep, and helping teach and guide them throughout the day. My experience has given me strong skills in providing attentive, compassionate, and engaging care for young children. Skills and Training: I have all of my background clearances, which I am happy to share with any family who may ask. I am also currently working toward my CDA (Child Development Associate) credential. Additionally, I have completed fire safety training, a 6-hour PA-required Health and Safety for Centers—Group Child Care course, and training in recognizing and reporting child abuse.

Hello, my name is Heather. I am 42 years old, a mother of three and love caring for children, as I have been doing for many years. I am a loving and caring person, as I treat the child as my own. I like the child and parent(s) to meet me first so they can get comfortable with me and my family. I am pretty flexible with babysitting hours. I do have a car and a clean driving record. I would prefer to babysit in my home with the child dropped off and picked up, but I am open to the possibility of being in your home. I do like to be paid up front, depending on your pay period. Payment can be negotiated. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have references available. Please contact me for more information.

Hi, my name is Michaella, but I typically just go by Kayla. I'm 19 and I have always had a passion for working with and helping kids. I did some caregiving in my nursery at my local church for a couple of years growing up and also babysat for a family friend for a little while as well. I have experience caregiving for infants to elementary. I am trained in Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED. I am really excited to find a nice, caring family to work with! I am hoping to become a pediatric nurse in the future so I love getting to spend time with kiddos and learning about them and from them, as well as helping them develop to be awesome human beings!
