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.

Hi! My name is Korrin :) I love kids and due to my age I’m able to keep up with them pretty well! I’m patient and trustworthy and babysitting has always been something I loved. Kids have a special place in my heart and due to a tragedy a couple of years ago one of the kids I used to babysit passed away (not under my care). It made me realize how important the little moments are and I do my very best to keep those moments as special as possible even when the loving parents are away :) I am also willing to do errands and clean as well!

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy caring for children and helping them grow in a safe, fun, and loving environment. I’m a big-hearted person with a loving attitude. My most recent job was as a caregiver, where I provided daily support, companionship, and assistance with routines. I also have personal experience caring for my younger siblings, aged 5 and 6, since they were newborns, boy and girl which I love with my whole heart. Helping, teaching, and spending quality time with children has always felt natural and rewarding to me. I love baking, listening to good music, making people smile, staying positive, and encouraging others to be their best selves. I’m passionate about motivation, love going to the gym, and strive to be the best version of myself every day. I am bilingual, trained in CPR and First Aid, and have strong skills in communication, patience, and problem-solving. I’m reliable, nurturing, and able to handle challenges calmly while keeping children safe, happy, and engaged.

As a passionate sitter, I thrive on turning playdates into adventures and bedtime stories into epic tales! With years of experience and a sprinkle of creativity, I’m all about creating a safe place where each child is cared for according to their needs, personality, and comfortability. Each child is wonderfully different, and deserves authenticity in their care. Parents opinions always come first. My strengths will definitely be in creative activities like crafting, painting, paper mache, you name it.
