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! My name is Carmen, and I truly love working with children. I’m a caring, patient, and responsible babysitter who always focuses on creating a warm and safe environment for kids. I enjoy spending time with them — playing, reading, and helping with homework — while always making sure they feel loved and respected. I believe in kindness, good manners, and positive communication. I’m very reliable, always on time, and parents can trust that their children are in good hands. I also understand how important it is for families to feel peace of mind while they’re away, whether it’s for work, travel, or a well-deserved break. I speak Spanish, Italian, English and I’m learning French, so I’d love to teach your kids something new. If you’re looking for someone loving, polite, and dependable to care for your children, I would be happy to help your family.

Hi! My name is Hannah and I have just recently moved from Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Over the past five summers, I have consistently babysat for two different families, as well as occasionally babysitting for any other families in need of a sitter. I have past work experience with Disney as a lifeguard, and have taken multiple CPR courses as well as First Aid/Stop the Bleed classes in the past, so that is no issue! No toddler, child, or teen is a hassle for me so please don’t feel nervous about hiring me if you decide to do so.

Hello 👋 First of all, I started babysitting when I was 9 yrs old. I knew that above and beyond any career that I wanted to be a mom. I have 3 mostly adult children-21,18,& 16. I have experience in all ages. I am passionate about children and love to interact with them as I don’t get much of that with my kids. They have cars, and jobs, and school, and sports. I find have quality time obviously but I miss the experience of the littles. I have a lot of home management and organizational skills as well. I love pets❤️ I am open to any and all types of care. Thank you!
