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 truly love kids and being a part of their lives. I am adventurous, patient, active, kind, and flexible with scheduling. I am both CPR and First Aid certified with all of my clearances.

I graduated from Millersville University with my degree in Early Childhood Education, so I have all up to date clearances upon request! I taught in elementary schools for 3 years, but have also worked as a Nanny, Camp Counselor, and Nursery Attendant at my church within the last 10 years. I am currently a stay at home mom with my 12 month old son, so bringing him along would be optimal. Lastly, we have a German shepherd, so dogs are always a plus!
