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 love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy working with children and being part of their growth and development. I find it rewarding to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable, supported, and understood. I also enjoy planning activities, helping with learning moments, and building positive relationships with both children and families. I have experience caring for children of different ages, including infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. My responsibilities have included supervising playtime, preparing meals and snacks, helping with routines like naps and bedtime, assisting with learning activities, and maintaining a structured but fun environment. I’ve also supported families with daily routines such as school drop-offs/pick-ups and light household tasks related to the children. I have strong communication skills, patience, and the ability to stay calm and attentive in different situations. I’m organized, reliable, and good at creating age-appropriate activities that keep children engaged. I also have training in child safety, and I’m comfortable following family routines and instructions closely. I prioritize safety, consistency, and positive behavior support in all childcare settings.

Hello, my name is Emma! I am currently a College Student attending school in Nebraska but I am looking for a job during the summer/breaks when I return home. I am a very energetic and social person, which makes it easy to love working with kids of all ages! I have spent my whole life around kids as I am the oldest of 6 siblings, which helps me adapt to the day-to-day changes with kids. Additionally, I worked for a soccer program before college, where I coached toddler-aged players. I also, in Nebraska I currently, work at a before and after-school program that also has a separate preschool program, where I spend most of my time as a teacher's aide. I have some experience working with special needs kids in the program, and I am currently up to date in my CPR, CPRO, and First Aid certifications.
