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.

Hello, I am a nursing major in college. I have graduated with my associates degree in psychology. I have worked around children my whole life. In high school and the start of college, I volunteered at my elementary school for the after school program. I would help children with homework and keep them occupied until their parents arrived. I have been through a CPR certification, and have a valid license. I also have babysat for my older brother. I have been around infants all the way up to middle schoolers, I am a very understanding person and I am very outgoing.

Hi! I’m a reliable, patient, and caring nanny/babysitter who truly enjoys spending time with kids and helping them feel safe, supported, and happy. I love being a sitter because every child has their own personality, creativity, and curiosity, and it’s rewarding to be someone they can trust while also helping them learn and grow. I have experience caring for children by helping with daily routines such as preparing meals and snacks, supervising playtime, assisting with homework, bedtime routines, and creating fun activities that keep kids engaged and active. I enjoy encouraging creativity through crafts, games, and outdoor play while also maintaining a safe and structured environment. My background as a caregiver has helped me develop strong patience, responsibility, and attentiveness—skills that are very important when caring for children. I’m very observant, dependable, and good at staying calm in different situations, which helps both kids and parents feel comfortable and confident. I always aim to create a positive and supportive environment where children feel safe, heard, and cared for. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, or simply being someone they can rely on while their parents are away, I take pride in providing attentive and loving care.

I’m an older sibling, so babysitting is a second nature for me. I also have expirience with special needs (specifically autism and down syndrome). I’m in the process of being CPR certified, and I have plenty recommendations if needed.

From the time my little sister was an infant up until she was 5 years old I spent everyday with her through all the ups and down. Last year I was a swim instructor teaching children ages 3-11, up until January 2023 when I moved to Johnson City. I have grown to be very patient and adore kids. I am currently certified in CPR, AED, First Aid, and Basic Swim Instruction. Aside from my little sister, I have baby sat with children ages 4 and 6, and 1. I am currently in school majoring in Early Childhood Education, although I am considering taking a year off for financial reasons.
