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 Shea. I am 20 years old with over four years of experience caring for children of all ages and I have worked part time at a daycare for two years! I am a patient, kind, and reliable babysitter who values open communication and strives to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for every child. I’m energetic, hands-on, and passionate about building meaningful connections. I’m well-versed in supporting children through important milestones such as potty training and bedtime routines, and I’m committed to helping them stay on schedule with structure and consistency. (Weather that be nap time or feedings for example) In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with household tasks such as laundry and light tidying. I have my own reliable transportation and am dedicated to making both your child and your family feel supported, comfortable, and cared for. (Available during summers, and holiday breaks. I am a current college student in New Hampshire)

We had an excellent experience with our sitter at our firm outing! She was the only sitter who showed up, and she truly went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. She was absolutely amazing with the children, engaging, attentive, and wonderful to work with. Her professionalism, flexibility, and genuine care made a stressful situation so much easier. We are incredibly grateful for her dedication and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! Thank you Shea! So grateful.

I am a reliable, caring babysitter of 8+ years looking for some little ones to care for. I have been around children my entire life and have worked the past 4 years as a nanny. While I have cared for newborns to pre-teens, I really love babysitting babies and toddlers. I am looking to get in some more weekend and evening work.
