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.

Jan helped us with our 4 yo daughter and was great with her! She made her feel comfortable right away and kept her busy with on going activities and play ideas! Jan helped enforce the concepts she was learning in school and taught her great gross and fine motor skills and gave us detailed feedback from each day. I highly recommend Jan, she is trustworthy and exceptional.

Hi, my name is Elma! I’ve been a nanny for over five years now. I’m currently a nanny to two twin infants. I cared for another family before this one for about four years and watched them grow. Simultaneously, I’ve done one time and part time babysitting jobs during my evenings and weekends, which is what I’m currently seeking for now! If you’re interested, feel free to message me. I graduated from Moravian College in 2021 with my psychology degree. I have experience with childhood psychology education and also just one on one experience from my care as a nanny over the years. I worked at the YMCA as an assistant teacher when I was in college as well!

Elma stepped in on short notice to help us while our nanny was away. She was wonderful with our daughter and quickly adapted to our household. We'd hire her again without a second thought.

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! ❤️

Raquel is such an amazing babysitter/nanny. She is able to keep my 2 year old engaged the entire day. My daughter will literally tell me to leave so she can play with Raquel. Raquel has improved my daughter's vocabulary significantly. She teachers her words, sounds, shapes, letters, animals, the weather and so much more. My dajghters imagination has also increased greatly by all the pretend play Raquel does with her. Raquel is just so amazing with my daughter and I'm so glad we found her. She is never on her phone during the day and even during my daughter's nap, she continues to check on her to make sure she is ok. I highly recommend Raquel!

I am a mother of three daughters and a grandmother of 4 grandchildren. My youngest daughter was diagnosed with PDD ( Pervasive Developmental Disorder ) when she was 4. I have been her strongest supportive parent for 30 years. I currently work overnights in Royersford PA. I have worked in the Owen J. Roberts School District through the YMCA's before-and-after school care program. Prior to that, I worked at a daycare with children ages 6 months to 4 years old. I am currently looking to watch children in my home. I have a large playroom with lots of educational toys, a spare bedroom with a crib and a twin bed if the children require a nap and a large yard with lots of outdoor activities for children. I help children learn through fun and games :) I have all the required certificates and necessary clearances to work with children. I have had a variety of jobs over many years, but I found that working with, and taking care of children, is the most rewarding :)

Riley was great with our 2 month old. She knew how to feed, chnage, soothe and hold baby. She did all the baby chores (laundry, bottles, diaper station stocking up) as well as keeping the baby engaged. We were sorry to see her go but she's off to bigger adventures and we wish her the very best.
