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.

Q: How does a child care provider interact with my child?

Child care providers 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! I’m Alyssa. I’ve been babysitting for about 7 years and started when I was 13. Working with kids is something I really enjoy because every child is different and it’s fun getting to know their personalities and helping them feel comfortable and safe. I have experience with different ages and I’m used to things like meals, bedtime routines, homework help, and keeping kids busy with games or activities instead of just screen time. I’ve also watched multiple kids at once, so I’m good at staying organized and patient. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, responsible, and reliable. I always try to create a calm, fun environment where kids feel happy and parents feel at ease leaving their children with me.
