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.

I am 26 years old and work as a full time Designer. I am just looking to see if there are a few families out there in need of a date night babysitter. I was a nanny for over 4 years with two different families and I have been babysitting for over 8 years in total. I was a nanny for a family of 6 kids, so I am definitely not afraid of large families!

I am a natural born care taker. Started 40 years ago at age 12 and have been loving and caring for kids ever since. These are YOUR kids so I do follow the house rules. I am rarely absent or late. I like for kids to be on a regular eat, play, sleep schedule. Typical day for a preschooler is breakfast, indoor play, outdoor play. Lunch then nap time. Snack after nap and then more playtime. I have care for 5 kids under six multiple times with pets!

Hello my name is Nyasia A. I'm from Georgetown, SC I grew up in a really big family. I love watching after kids and going over nursery rhymes with them. I'm a very patient person. Patience is very important to me and I think it's important for kids to have. Just as children need to be reminded to "be patient" and "wait their turn to use the slide,"I exercise patience with children. Remind them to do their chore, then give them time and space to get it done. I am a PT Caregiver/pharmacy tech, and caring for people is most important to me because I love building a relationship with people, I love helping out around the house, I'm a very big fan of helping with their health, and building a new love like no other! I have good skills including: childhood education training, the physical ability to take care of children, patience, organization, and good English

Hi! I am a retired Kdg. teacher, who has raised 3 children of my own. My grandchildren are all the way in Georgia, but I can be a surrogate grandparent for your kids, while still being young and active enough to play, read, entertain, sing and dance, and keep them safe and happy. I prefer to watch infants and toddlers, but have had experience with all age groups.
