Q: How do families hire trustworthy child care providers in {{city}}, {{state}}?

Families find trustworthy child care providers on Sittercity who are passionate about providing safe and enriching care for their children. Many providers report they are First Aid and CPR certified to provide the best care for your family.

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.

Hello! My name is Baylee Davis. I am 18 years old and engaged! I have experience in babysitting, tutoring/mentoring, and working in a daycare. I love working with children and love to make sure that they are learning through play and that they remain safe. I’ve take required daycare courses such as what to do in emergencies, teacher responsibilities, how to prevent injury, etc. I do not have my CPR or first aid certification, however, I’ve taken an online class in CPR and have been properly taught how to perform it. I am working on getting my certification though. I have more experience working with infants, toddlers, and two year olds, but I also love working with older kids as well!

I bring over ten years of experience caring for children, including those with disabilities and special needs. As a full time, employee at the Alabama Department of Mental Health, I have developed a strong foundation in compassionate, patient, and responsive care. Additionally, I also currently provide before-school childcare to one elementary aged child on a weekly basis. This role includes supervising the child during morning routines, preparing simple breakfast items if needed, and ensuring the child boards the bus safely and on time. I am a dedicated mother to two autistic children, which has deepened my understanding of the unique challenges and needs faced by neurodiverse individuals. My background has equipped me with the skills to provide a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment for children of all abilities.

I love being a sitter because I love to help families and enjoy kids! I have younger siblings and have taken good care of them over the years.
