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.

Such an amazing experience. My girls (8 and 10) had a blast with her! She has a wonderful blend of warmth, patience, and confidence that makes her a natural with children. The girls loved her energy and can’t wait for her to come back! Highly recommend her to any family looking for a responsible, kind, and fun babysitter.

Some info ab me : I graduated from high school this last spring from Lincoln County High School. I do not have much professional experience with nannying, but I do have personal experience. I do have references! I love working with children and would love to help out hard working parents. I would love to set up experiences for the kids for them to learn and explore. I could do light housekeeping and meal prep as well. I could do anything you needed me to do. I’m comfortable with pets! I will be getting CPR and First Aid certified.

I was a nanny to 3 little girls for a couple of years, and I am also the oldest of 5 kiddos and have been babysitting them since I can remember. I am CPR/First Aid certified and I always keep my certification on me just in case, so feel free to ask to see it! I was also a kindergarten teaching assistant so if any of your littles need help with their homework, I can assist no problem! I have been a vet tech for years and recently moved to town because I got married and I’m looking for a steady job to help out with some bills around the house. I have two pups and a snake at home so rest assured, your animals will also be very cared for!
