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.

Alliyah C.

2 years paid experience

$13–24/hr

Hi! My name is Alliyah, and I’m currently a freshman in college with plans of studying social work. I grew up in a big family, so I’ve always been surrounded by kids and naturally took on the role of helping care for younger siblings and relatives. That early experience sparked my passion for caregiving, which I plan to carry into my future career. I’m responsible, patient, and great at keeping kids engaged with creative play, reading, and age-appropriate activities. I’ve worked with children of all ages and feel confident caring for up to four kids at a time. I also offer house sitting and service for pets outside of dogs due to my allergies. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns!

$20–35/hr

Hi! My name is Alysha and I’m 35 years old. I’m an experienced, reliable nanny based in Lake Jackson with several years of hands-on experience caring for children from newborn through preschool age, including caring for multiple children at once. I have extensive experience with infant care such as bottle prep and cleaning, diapering, nap routines, and age-appropriate play, as well as supporting preschoolers with structured activities, meals/snacks, and daily routines. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have my own reliable vehicle, and am comfortable with pets. I take pride in maintaining a safe, clean, and organized environment and supporting families in a way that feels calm, consistent, and dependable. I can provide multiple local references upon request. I value open communication, reliability, and creating a positive, nurturing environment where children feel secure, engaged, and well cared for. My standard rate is $22/hour for one child and $25/hour for two children when duties are childcare-focused. Childcare responsibilities include supervising playtime, preparing meals and snacks, bottle prep and cleaning, and maintaining child-related spaces. If the role includes additional household support beyond childcare — such as children’s laundry, dishes, sweeping, vacuuming, mopping, or cleaning a half bathroom — my rate is $30–35/hour, depending on the scope of responsibilities. An additional $5/hour per child applies beyond two children.
