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.

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! ❤️

Hey everyone. I have a ton of experience love animals and children of all ages I do prefer to begin with younger children(infants, preschoolers and s hool aged children) it's fun however, with my patience, humor and common sense I can handle anything. So ready to take care of your children I took some time off due to a position ending and now I want to return. I miss my daily routine, reading, being outdoors, learning activities, going for walks, tummy time (if infant), games, puzzles and interactive play. I love to laugh have fun and mix it up with learning activities. I am reliable, have a clean background on file and cpr first aid certified, tdap, flu and I'm vacinated for covid. Please reach out if this interests you. Thanks for reading! Also, I have a reliable car..

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 :)

Beverly is extremely reliable. She comes to our house every weekday, and never misses! She is very good with kids and helps ours with their homework. She is so detail oriented and keeps us organized! My kids are in very good hands until we get home from work.
