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.

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them.

I’ve always loved working with kids, and childcare has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. I come from a big family with five younger siblings, including a toddler who just turned three, so I’ve grown up helping with little ones every day. From ages 12–16, I regularly babysat for friends, families in my community, and at church events, which helped me build patience, responsibility, and strong communication skills. I later worked at my local YMCA daycare, where I gained hands-on experience with groups of children, daily routines, and fun, age-appropriate activities. When I turned 18, I also worked as a live-in nanny for a few months. I know basic baby sign language and enjoy using it to help babies communicate their needs before they can talk. I’m reliable, calm, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe, positive environment for children of all ages.
