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.

Halla is a wonderful caring young lady who is motivated and going places! It was a pleasure to hire her for our annual Christmas party helping out with a gaggle of kids doing Christmas activities. She interacted seamlessly with a wide range of ages in a group setting, and helped keep things organized too. The kiddos were engaged and happy for the whole duration. She worked especially well communicating with one kiddo on the spectrum and I was grateful for her sensitivity and patience. Halla is a gem. I would happily hire her again.

Sirena is Mary Poppins in 21 year old form. She capably handles my three year old twins but more importantly, they love her. She -plays- with them, not just sits on her phone. They are excited to see her arrive and sad when it's time for her to go. We are living and working in the same space and she seamlessly occupies the kids so that we can get work done. She's more than cooperative with our crazy random schedule. As she moves on from California to Washington for school, I am so sorry to lose her. Don't pass her up- she's the one you want.

I am a middle-aged wife and mother of three who has begun homesteading and looking to supplement with part-time work to get our feet off the ground. I have enjoyed work in the daycare settings and 20 plus years of Sunday School as well as a children's ministry director in my church, and babysitting friend's children over the years. Watching children grow and learn and use their mind is inspiring for me.
