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.

I have been doing child care for almost 7 years, including without pay. I am a first year college student studying psychology. I love caring and meeting new children/ families and helping in any way needed. I love connecting with children and letting them feel comfortable and depending on me for anything needed. Not only am I building bond with the children but I am also providing help for any parent who needs it. I am 19 and I know it seems young, but I have been caring for children for years and will always come back to it. I am open to anything as long as there is communication involved. with me working and being in school I would need a heads up and understanding if I can’t make it to the service you are wanting. I am also open to staying nights or weekends if there is an emergency or if you as the parent/ parents need a little vacation. With that I drop my rates to whatever is good for you!

I am a former teacher and have a sincere love for children. The reward I gain from caring for a child is huge ! I am responsible,dependable and naturally compassionate towards children. My schedule is flexible,so that I can easily adapt to the parent's schedule. I am dedicated to my community and feel obligated to serve my neighbor as a 'sitter'/'caregiver'.

Hi, my name is Sasha! I’m 32 years old, a proud mom to a 5-year-old, and I truly enjoy caring for children. I have a year of childcare experience as well as experience as a substitute teacher, which deepened my interest in child development. I’m also CPR and First Aid certified, so safety is always my top priority. I love keeping kids engaged with fun activities, helping them learn, and creating a warm, nurturing environment. My style is patient and kind, but also consistent when it comes to routines and discipline. As both a mom and a caregiver, I understand the importance of trust and will care for your child as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to bring joy, care, and peace of mind to your family!

An empty nester looking to keep busy. I’m a 43 y/o mom of one adult son that’s now gone off to college. I have plenty of experience with children and I am “the favorite aunt” to my niece and three nephews. I’ve been certified in CPR and first aid previously but let my certificate expire. I can work on getting that back up to date.

I’m a very dependable and reliable person. I’m consistent with my work. Although I’m new to babysitting/nanny professionally I am not new to caregiving. I have been a caregiver for 12+ years. I love long term work with my previous clients. I have all the references you need and my referral speak for themselves. I love caregiving and I want experience with babies and children. We all have to start somewhere and if given the opportunity I will not disappoint with following your family’s needs.
