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 worked in daycare for three years with infants and toddlers. With infants I was the lead teacher over 4, and 8 with a co-teacher. So I'm familiar with the needs of infants. I did the curriculum for the three year olds for a year or so. I've done a lot of babysitting too. I have a degree in psychology, which included a couple child development courses. I took stars training, childcare classes, while working in daycare. I can provide references. I love working with children and helping them learn and grow. I've previously taken cpr training.

Hi! I’m a responsible, caring, and energetic person who has grown up around kids my whole life. I have four younger siblings, so I’ve had plenty of experience babysitting, helping with kids, as my parents were always working. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I always prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for the children I care for. I’m comfortable running errands, helping with chores, or assisting with any extra tasks. I love having fun, getting creative, and finding activities that kids genuinely enjoy. I’m dependable, patient, and someone you can feel confident trusting with your little ones!

I’m a stay-at-home mom looking to earn a little extra income, with over 10 years of experience working with children from newborn through 13 years old. For the past 2 years, I’ve babysat with my son on-site, and we’ve loved the playdate-style rhythm it creates. It’s been a wonderful way for children to learn and socialize, and we’ve made many long-lasting friendships along the way. I like to encourage Montessori-inspired learning through child-led play, story time, and time spent outdoors.

I love being a sitter because I can spend time with the kids and help them make fun memories even if their parents are at work or out on date night. I babysat for a family back home for 4 years and I watched the oldest daughter grow up in to the amazing sassy girl she is now. I also had the privilege of watching the twins grow up into the fun people they are now. I have been for certified for over 4 years now and I currently hold a CNA license. I am planning to attend BTech in January to obtain my EMT certification

Hi! I’m Ellie, and I have over 5 years of experience caring for kids of all ages. I’ve worked in a daycare setting, so I’m used to busy days, different routines, and making sure kids feel safe, supported, and happy. I’m CPR certified, have reliable transportation, and don’t mind helping out with light housekeeping when needed. I’m also comfortable and happy working with children with special needs. In the past, I worked as a Direct Support Professional for adults with disabilities, which taught me a lot about patience, compassion, and meeting people where they’re at. I genuinely love helping families and building strong, trusting relationships with both parents and kids. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, and easy to communicate with, I’d love to connect! Feel free to reach out and ask me any questions. I’m always happy to talk :)
