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.

I want to be a nanny because I genuinely enjoy working with children and helping them learn, grow, and feel supported every day. My best friend has a baby, so I’ve had a lot of experience helping care for young children, and I also babysat often throughout high school. My first job in high school was hosting children’s birthday parties, which I did for a year and a half, and it taught me how to keep kids engaged, safe, and entertained in a fun environment. I’m patient, caring, dependable, and passionate about creating a positive space where children can thrive.
