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.

My name is Cristy. I have worked in the schools system for 15+years but before that I worked at a daycare for 7 years. I have a daughter that is 24, graduated college, and moved away. I do not have a 9-5 job and I miss being around babies! I have experience in planning learning activities for little ones to cooking for them to nourish their little bodies. Contrary to beliefs, I love doing laundry. So a little light house cleaning is not a problem!

Hey there! I’m Bianca, and I would love to watch your child(ren) whenever you need! I do great with kids of all ages since I raised my younger siblings myself. I have a son as well (2 years currently) so I’m looking for some extra money while I can still care for my child as I would yours! I love to smile and hear those precious giggles of children, and anything you needed done around the house or anything else, I can do! I always keep the option of you bringing your child to my home as well, I know how complicated some things can get. When I watch other peoples kids, I ALWAYS ask permission for EVERYTHING, and I would NEVER go against your wishes as a parent. I hope asking questions doesn’t bother you because I will ask a million and one. All I ask is that I can bring my little one with me. Thank you!

I am currently a student at the University of Tennessee Knoxville. I am majoring in Special Education and minoring in ASL. I started babysitting 10 years ago when I was 11 for family friends and have since continued babysitting as well as working at a daycare, lifeguarding, and teaching kids ages 6 month+ how to swim. I have experienced running a daycare classroom with a max of a 22 to 1 ratio so taking care of several kids at once is no problem. I am energetic and like to do arts and crafts, go outside, music, and even some academics with the kids. I am CPR, First Aid, AED, Lifeguard, and WSI certified. I have my own car and am willing to work late hours. I hope to be a full time babysitter/nanny/tutor over the summer and then work part time during the school year. Please feel free to contact me at any time and I will be ready!
