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.

Hello! My name is Caylee. I have worked in the Indiana Public School system for several years. I've worked with children from newborns up until 12th grade. Im trained in teaching early reading skills such as phonics and sight words. I have raised two of my own children and love to snuggle and sing to babies. Children love me for my sunny disposition. I love to make crafts, bake, sing, dance, and spend time outside enjoying nature. I can assist with homework, household tasks, and meal prep. I love taking care of children because it brings my heart joy. I have worked with nonverbal children, neurodivergent children, and of course neurotypical children. My youngest child is mostly nonverbal at 2 years old, but I have taught him the alphabet and counting through the beauty of song. I am confident that I can make a lasting positive impact on your children, as I have done so for others in the past. I require that I bring my two year old son with me, but don't let that deter you. I have taken care of entire kindergarten classes of 30 children by myself with ease and gusto! Please consider me as a possible candidate to help enrich your children's life through play, learning, and laughs. 🩷
