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.

Hello Families! My name is Shannon. I am a 27 year old mom of two, to a 5 and 3 year old. I love being a sitter, because kids see the world in a whole new light than adults.

Hello! Im Brittani, im 27 and I live in Lansford Pennsylvania. I have a 1 year old daughter and she is the light of my life. Full disclosure, my daughter will be coming with me wherever I go. She's very sweet and loves other kids. Ive been working with kids since a very young age. I would babysit the younger kids in my neighborhood, and when I got older I knew I wanted to do something with children. So I worked at a daycare for a couple years. But while working there, I figured out I liked the one on one time with kids. After that, I nannied for about a year for a family and I absolutely loved it! I recently became available again, through no fault of my own, the family was going through tough times. But I'm so excited to work with the next family and meet your children!!!
