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.

Hi! My name is Dalesha, and I have 15+ years of experience working in childcare. I am CPR and First Aid certified, as well as a certified Personal Care Aide. Over the years, I’ve cared for children in many different settings, including working as a nanny, running my own in-home daycare for about 5 years, working in daycare centers, and serving as both a daycare teacher and kitchen staff member. I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving, and structured environment where children can learn, grow, and feel comfortable. Along with childcare, I also have experience with housekeeping and cooking, so I’m happy to assist with light cleaning, meal preparation, and helping keep the home organized. I’m dependable, patient, nurturing, and truly enjoy building positive relationships with both children and families.

Hi! My name is Niya, and I’m a 20-year-old nursing student currently working toward becoming a registered nurse. I love being a sitter because I’ve always enjoyed helping and caring for others, especially children. I’m very patient, energetic, nurturing, and easy to get along with, and I love creating a fun and safe environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. I have experience babysitting children of different ages and have been helping care for kids since I was around 15 years old. I also helped raise many of my younger cousins since they were newborns, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to handle different personalities and routines. In addition to babysitting experience, I am a licensed CNA and CPR and First Aid certified. My healthcare background has helped me become very attentive, dependable, and calm under pressure. Families can trust that their children will be cared for with patience, kindness, and safety as my top priority.
