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.

Raised three great kids and volunteered a lot when I was in the military at shelters with children and went to Medical Assistant school and was CPR certified. Now work as a nanny of school aged children and helped my niece with her children until they went off to school. Completed 18 years in the military and medically retired. Wage negotiable I paid for 3 at daycare at one time in my life so I understand how that is with multiple children. I have access to military bases. I love children of all ages. I can prepare meals and also help with homework. I am pretty flexible. My kids are all on their own. I love children of all ages.
