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.

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.

I have been babysitting since High School which was back in 1982! I am now a young grandma at heart. I have two adult daughters of my own. I was a nanny for an infant back in 1983 for 5 years and this beautiful baby grew up to be a wonderful women with a child of her own. She is still a big part of my life after all these years. I have much experience and prefer the ages of 0-3 yrs. I feel this age is a very important part of a child's intellectual development. I have worked for a babysitting service in the Jackson Hole, Wyoming area, and have also worked for an infant and toddler care center there as well. I love babies!
