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.

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!

I have a wonderful young son. I started babysitting when I was a teenager so I have a lot of experience. I enjoy helping people, children, parents and families I know what it's like to need reliable experienced help even more now that I am a mommy too. I am a Full time Mommy but I would still like to get out into the work force again even if it's just for a few hours part time. My son is in school now so I am looking for some part time day time hours for when he is in school. I work part time at a grocery store weekday evenings and weekends. Have a good day.

I am a current college student who is going for education to become a teacher. I currently have worked within daycares for the past two years and have been babysitting for another year. Within my time at the daycare I have done potty training, diapers, lunch/snack with multiple kids, and have gotten CPR and First Aid certified. I have loved working with kids to help them get to know their colors, numbers, shapes, and work with arts and crafts. Helping to learn the basics of how to use glue sticks, pencils, and other things has always been exciting for me since this is what my future career looks like.
