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’m a proud mom of two amazing adult daughters and a stepmom to an energetic twelve -year-old son. With more free time now that my girls are grown (and as I not so patiently wait for grandkids, lol), I’m excited to spend more time doing something I’ve always loved: caring for children. While I’m not a career nanny, I’ve been caring for kids since my teenage years and have a lifelong passion for working with them. I have experience with multiples from my time working in a group home for children, where I cared for six children aged 1 to 5. I'm especially confident with infants and toddlers Over the years, I’ve helped raise nieces, nephews, and the children of friends, and I currently care for several toddlers and twin infants on a regular basis. I’m dependable, punctual, and great at managing a busy household. I connect well with kids of all ages, and I pride myself on being fully present. And if you have pets, I’m an animal lover too!
