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.

I’m a patient, calm, and dependable caregiver with a genuine love for children of all ages. I have experience caring for kids ranging from infants to teenagers, including managing multiple children at once—such as an overnight weekend with four kids of varying ages. Children naturally feel comfortable around me, and I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where they can learn, explore, and grow. I believe in structure and routines, using positive reinforcement to guide behavior while supporting their emotional needs. Safety is always my top priority, and I am CPR certified to ensure peace of mind for families. I love engaging children in outdoor activities like parks, swimming, biking, hiking, and exploring, as well as indoor learning and play. I also enjoy helping them discover new interests and skills, whether through reading, creative projects, or problem-solving activities. Beyond childcare, I’m married, love animals, and enjoy being outside when the weather is pleasant. I have hobbies like reading, solving puzzles, traveling to new places, and fixing things around the house—interests that often translate into fun, educational, and hands-on activities for kids. My calm demeanor, patience, and creativity make me a caregiver that children trust and enjoy being around. I’m looking for part-time, flexible nanny or babysitting opportunities where I can support families and provide a consistent, caring presence in their children’s lives. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and adaptable, tailoring my approach to meet the needs of each child and family. My goal is to create a positive, engaging, and safe environment where children feel happy, confident, and supported while giving parents peace of mind knowing their children are in caring hands.
