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.

My name is Holly. I am 27 and currently working as a Certified Child Life Specialist at a local children’s hospital. I have my Master of Science in Child Life from the College of Charleston. While pursuing my masters degree, I completed a 120 hour practicum at a pediatric hospital in Charleston, SC as well as just completed a 605 hour internship at a pediatric hospital in Baltimore, MD. As part of my program, I gained vast knowledge and comprehension in child development and structuring developmentally appropriate play activities. While in Charleston, I also worked as a nanny for a vacation nanny agency, nannying children between the ages of 3 months to 12 years in addition to holding many consistent babysitting gigs with local families. Prior to pursuing a masters degree, I worked as a behavioral health technician for a local outpatient behavioral health center and an inpatient child and adolescent mental health unit providing ABA therapy and leading group therapy sessions with my BS in Psychology from the University of Pittsburgh. Currently, I was a full-time nanny for a local family providing care for their 1 and 3 year old daughters over the past summer and still babysit for the family on occasions. I am BLS/CPR certified and have all of my Pennsylvania clearances as well!

Hello My name is Laura. I am a non smoking married mother of three adult daughters. I have over 15 years of child care/ household management experience. I am CPR Certified/ First-Aid Certified. (Letter of recommendation and references upon request) I believe being a nanny is more than meeting their physical needs and keeping them safe. I believe each and every child is full of potential and as a nanny I get the opportunity to come along side the parents to help the little ones grow and thrive in a loving , creative environment. I am looking for a full time rewarding position. But would consider part time daylight hours. I also am a pastry chef and enjoy preparing meals. Early mornings are not a problem. I have a clean driving record And a current background check. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely Laura Hurd
