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.

I’m a college student who truly loves working with kids and creating a safe, positive environment for them. Even though I don’t have formal babysitting experience yet, I’m responsible, patient, and eager to learn. I enjoy engaging with children through play, crafts, reading, and helping with daily routines. I’m dependable, attentive, and take safety very seriously. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable leaving their children in someone’s care, and I always make communication and trust a priority. Being in college has helped me develop strong time-management and responsibility skills, which I bring into everything I do. I’m excited to gain experience, build meaningful connections with families, and provide caring, reliable support for your children.
