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.

My very first job was babysitting at 14 and I loved it. I also used to be a teachers aid at Fort Benton Elementary School for about a year and that was the turning point for me. After working there, I decided that working with children is what I want to continue to do. Ever since then, I’ve been staying in the caregiver industry. I was a CNA for about a year and a lead Teacher at a preschool for a year and a half. I love making such a sweet connection with children. In my free time, I love to be an artist. I love to paint, draw, and sketch. I am also a photographer who is trying to expand my small photography business. I am looking forward to building connections and growing with your child/children!

Hi my name is Kaylee, I am 27 years old and have been working with kids for most of my life due to becoming an aunt at the age of seven. Although I've been babysitting since I was a kid I do have about ten years of professional experience. Most of that being in a daycare or public school setting but I believe I have found my true passion by becoming a nanny for four separate families in Bellingham, Washington. I am back home in Great Falls, Montana and am eager to find a family to work for! I'm more than happy to tell you more specifics about my qualifications and to provide you with references. I look forward to hearing from you!
