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.

Greetings! I'm Bailey, aka The Bailey Sitter, and I'm thrilled to meet you. Children hold a special place in my heart, and I've spent the past decade providing top-notch care as a nanny, house manager, pet and house sitter. Growing up with four younger siblings and a menagerie of animals, I've honed my skills in responsibility, honesty, and fun. From doctors to artists, I've had the privilege of nannying for diverse families, sharing adventures and making lasting connections along the way. Originally from Boulder, Colorado, I'm now happily settled in Montreal. That being said, I am currently available to help as a travel nanny as I am based in Montreal! Whether it's hitting the slopes or strumming a tune, at the beach, the grocery store, I'm always up for an adventure and eager to share my passions and support with the families I work with. With my flexible and laid-back and of course hard working and joyful demeanor, you can rest assured your little ones—and furry friends—are in good hands. I look forward to hearing from you!
