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.

Hi there! I’m Aria, a 31-year-old homeschool mom of a 5-year-old who has intentionally designed a rich, spacious childhood rooted in nature, mindfulness, creativity, intentionality, and presence. We have space for one 4–6 year old to join our rhythm three days per week. I guide children to expand their focus and attention spans, think for themselves, trust their intuition, regulate emotions, and cultivate the inner tools that shape a strong, empowered inner world — all while exploring what brings them joy, awe, and wonder. We live on 60 acres bordering a national park, and our days unfold in a forest-rhythm flow: outdoor exploration and hikes, creative projects, land art, imaginative play, mindful movement (including simple yoga and breath awareness), and meaningful daily rituals with reading, writing, and math for 1-2 hours a day. Our current extracurriculars include horse lessons and Appalachian jam-style music lessons. I bring experience in babysitting, tutoring, leading STEM after-school and summer programs, volunteering at children’s camps — and most meaningfully, the lived experience of intentional, attentive motherhood. This would be a small, intimate setting — just our family and one additional child — ideal for a family who values depth, creativity, emotional intelligence, and lots of time outdoors. Availability: Monday–Friday, 8am–4pm If this resonates, I’d love to connect and set up a time to talk. Please email with a little about your child and what you’re looking for.
