Q: What’s the difference between a babysitter and a nanny?

Babysitters and nannies share the same primary responsibility of providing safe and enriching care for your child, but there are a few differences between them. Babysitters are typically hired for occasional work on an irregular schedule. If you’re looking for last-minute care for date night, or the occasional few hours after school, a babysitter is a great option. Nannies, on the other hand, 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. 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 babysitters interact with my child?

Babysitters 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.

Hi! My name is Kaylee Drennan Goold. I just stepped back from my corporate position in Real Estate Private Equity to be at home with my toddler boy (21 mo) for this season and am looking for another baby/toddler (open to other ages) to join us! Or, for us to come babysit at your place! We love to go to the library (we LOVE the library programs like Music and Movement), read books, listen to music, doing crafts, cook/bake, and play with toys, etc. Prior to my career, I nannied/provided childcare for over a decade. I am confident and comfortable with newborns to teens and multiples (I nannied for three sets of twins all under 5-years old for two summers). Happy to set up a call/chat or meetup to answer any questions you may have. Thanks, Kaylee Drennan Goold

1. Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because caring for children has been my passion since I was young. I enjoy watching them grow, helping with their routines, and creating fun, safe moments. It makes me truly happy to bring love, patience, and joy into their daily lives. 2. What experience do you have? I started working with children when I was 14 years old in Brazil. Since then, I’ve cared for kids of all ages, from infants to school-aged children. I have helped families with daily routines, meal preparation, homework, bedtime, and lots of playtime. 3. What skills and training do you have? I am patient, responsible, and caring. I’m good at creating fun and safe activities that keep children engaged and happy. I speak Portuguese and English, which can be a great way for kids to be introduced to another language. I also make safety my top priority and always bring dedication and love to my work.

I am a current college student studying Education. I have a night time job but I am looking for a daytime job as well and since I loved babysitting while growing up from age eleven, I thought being a nanny would be fun and rewarding. I love children and have many years of experience with children of all ages. I try to have as much fun with the children as I can while maintaining a tidy environment. I have made very close connections to the families I have babysat for and expect to make more of these same connections.
