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.

Hello, I am a 24 year old college student with ALOT of free time! I have a passion for watching over and caring for young children. This passion was discovered after I first started working at a daycare and realized not only do I genuinely have fun teaching and playing with toddlers (my specialty age), but all of the children and other teachers under my care also enjoy my presence as well as I make sure everyone’s needs are cared for and is happy. I have experienced multiple daycares with different backgrounds for a total of 5 years and off-paper experience I have roughly 18 years (family and younger siblings). I am currently in college for early child education and have all of my clearances completed, as well as two unrelated references. CPR and FirstAid certified and I renew this yearly. I will watch over any child between 4 months up to 3 years of age. You as a parent can set the schedule and choose your house, my house, or another provided location. I am happy to go through with a trial run, answer any questions and provide proof of anything! I also try to keep prices reasonable and will gladly work with you if there’s any concerns.

My name is Kylee, and I'm a caring, dependable, and enthusiastic childcare provider with about two years of professional experience working with preschool and school-aged children. I'm currently pursuing my graduate degree in audiology at Commonwealth University–Bloomsburg, and I have a bachelor's degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Marywood University. Through my experience working in a daycare, I've developed a love for helping children learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and supportive environment. I'm experienced in planning age-appropriate activities, encouraging creativity, supporting social and emotional development, and helping children build independence. I enjoy finding fun ways to keep kids engaged, whether that means playing games, doing crafts, reading stories, exploring educational activities, or spending time outdoors! I'm happy to help with babysitting, after-school care, homework and tutoring, reading and spelling practice, and keeping little ones entertained while parents take some time for themselves. I'm also open to helping with household routines and pet care when needed. As a graduate student, I'm looking for flexible opportunities to support local families while balancing school. I'm responsible, patient, adaptable, and committed to making sure children feel comfortable, cared for, and included. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family and become someone you can feel confident trusting with your little ones.

I love being a sitter because I’ve always enjoyed working with kids and helping them learn, grow, and have fun. Every child is different, and I love getting to know their personalities and finding ways to make them feel comfortable and happy. Spending time with kids never feels like “work” to me — it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I like being someone parents can trust to take good care of their children and keep them safe while also making sure they’re having a good time. I have experience taking care of kids of all ages, including toddlers and school-aged children. I’ve helped with things like meal prep, homework, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’m patient, responsible, and dependable, and I always make sure to keep things organized and calm. I also know basic first aid and safety procedures, and I’m confident in handling any situation with care and understanding.
