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 Parents! I am an experienced nanny and mom of two (20-month-old and 10-month-old) looking for a full time nanny position to start as early as May or later. Both my girls will be in daycare by then so they wouldn't need to come along. I have worked professionally as a nanny for 4 years and babysat for 7 plus years as well as a couple years of experience with children volunteering at my church in the nursery. Along with my experience, I am CPR/First Aid/AED certified as well as a newborn care specialist. I have my degree in pharmaceutical science. I have reliable transportation and I'm a non-smoker. I have experience with every age from newborn up to 13 years old, preemie, twins, multiples and special needs. If you have any questions or are interested please feel free to let me know! I can also provide my portfolio and references if requested. Thanks!
