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.

Taj is great with my daughter! She has only been there a short time and I can tell she really loves it! Her son is so sweet and my daughter loves to play with him. As an added bonus Taj does her hair better than I do! I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter! Kennita

Natalia has been great. She has been our nanny for 5 months. She has been cheerful, upbeat, professional. She shows up on time, keeps the kitchen counter clean, does the babys laundry, gives her a bath, feeds her bottles and solid food, and Freya is always half when I get home. We have had a great experience with her.

I have been sitting/nannying for the past year now (paid) I transitioned from working in restaurants to sitting as I have always had a love for kiddos being the oldest of three there were always other littles around, and it ended up fitting better with my schedule and degree program! I am currently working on my degree in behavioral science, with a minor in early childhood development. I currently work with ages 0-9, and I have loved each experience! I look forward to hearing from you/your family:)
