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 Isabella, and I’m a 21-year-old student at Montana State University. I’m looking for a nanny or babysitter position from May 15 through August 6 in the Madison, WI area and I would love to get to know your family during that time! I am available for a nanny or babysitter position August 20th through May 1st, 2026 in Bozeman, MT. I’m very active and enjoy spending time outdoors—whether it's skiing, hiking, or just being outside. But I also appreciate quiet evenings at home with a good movie or book, and I’m happy to balance active outings with cozy, low-key time. I have over six years of experience working with children and a strong background in healthcare, having been a CNA for four years, including one year in pediatrics. In addition, this past fall, I completed four months volunteering in my local hospital’s NICU caring for babies while they were recovering. I’m certified in BLS, CPR, first aid, and SIDS prevention, and I’m very comfortable managing both everyday care and any unexpected situations that may arise. What I truly love about nannying is creating a safe, fun, and enriching environment for kids. Whether it’s organizing activities, helping with homework, or cooking a meal, I’m all in. I’m also more than happy to help with light housework, transportation, or any other family tasks that may come up. I have a clean driving record and would be thrilled to be a part of your family’s summer routine.

Hi there! My name is Aurora, I’m 25 years old and originally from Ann Arbor, Michigan. I currently live and work at Big Sky Resort in Montana. I absolutely love working with kids! Most of my childcare experience comes from helping at summer camps through my church, as well as babysitting for families I know. I’m responsible, patient, and always make sure kids are safe and having fun. In addition to childcare, I have professional experience with cooking and cleaning, so I’m happy to help out around the house as well.
