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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy helping children feel safe, happy, and supported while their parents are away, and I find it very rewarding to build trust with both kids and families. I have 9 years of experience caring for children of different ages, helping with daily routines like meals, homework, bedtime, and playtime, and keeping kids engaged through creative activities like games, crafts, reading, and outdoor play. I’m patient, responsible, and dependable, and I stay calm in different situations while making sure children are both safe and having fun. My key skills include strong communication, adaptability, organization, and a caring attitude, and I always focus on creating a positive, structured environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel confident in the care I provide.
