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 Addie and I am a dependable and caring sitter currently studying nursing, with a big heart for kids and families. I’ve grown up around children and have 6 amazing nieces and nephews ranging from 6 months to 16 years old, so I’m very comfortable caring for a wide range of ages (and even managing multiple kiddos at once!). I have experience with infant care, bedtime routines, homework help, and creating fun, screen-free activities that keep kids happy and engaged. I’m also comfortable with pet care, light tidying, and always keep open communication with parents so everyone feels supported. Whether it’s bottles, bedtime stories, or balancing busy schedules, I bring patience, energy, and a genuine love for helping families. P.S. I forgot to mention you should warn your kids I am a professional hide and seeker.

Hi! My name is Maddy! I’m 22 years old and I recently made the move to Colorado from Pennsylvania and looking for a family to work for when I make the move! A little about me, I have always been drawn to kids and have always enjoyed the environment of being a full-time nanny. I have been a babysitter since I could remember but started my nannying career at the age of 16! Some tasks I excel in, but not limited to are; meal prep, carpool, and household duties. I have my own transportation and come from a non-smoking home. I'm a very loving, outgoing, nurturing, and energetic person who loves to be outside and constantly stay active! I love that I can be a reliable and stable person for families and for the kids I work with. I really enjoy hanging out with friends and family, finding new things to do and playing with my golden doodle outside of being a nanny! I have experience in all ages, from infant to toddler! I hope to hear from you, thank you!
