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.

It takes a village to raise a child. As a mother and a care giver, genuine love and care for your child is important. I like activities going outside and always encourage a fun safe enviroment.

Hi! I’m a certified teacher and mom with many years of experience with kids of all ages. I have been teaching since 2012, and I have almost 20 years of experience babysitting. I am certified in first aid and CPR and EpiPen. I teach part time (T-TH) so I’m looking for some jobs on my days off and I would also love to offer my help in the summertime. I will be spending the summer with my kindergartner so if she could be with us that is a plus. I am open to watching children in my home or yours. We love going to parks, library story times, doing crafts, taking walks and playing indoors and outdoors. As a teacher I have tons of educational toys, puzzles, books etc. I have a playroom and playground setup in my home. Please get in touch if you think it will be a fit! Thank you! Jessica
