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.

I am an active, single, 59 years young, mom of two daughters, ages 28 and 31. I was employed as a nanny/housekeeper/household manager for a family in the Lake Norman area. My employer was a dear friend and widower who was making plans to remarry. With the changes that her new relationship brought to the family dynamics, my position as it existed was no longer needed and sadly I resigned. I accepted a live-in, care position and relocated to the Clearwater Beach area in 2019. I was born and raised in St. Pete and I am over the moon about being back in the area permanently! I am now transitioning out of my live-in role and taking as needed and/or part time care opportunities as my schedule permits. I have extensive childcare experience with children of all ages from infants to teens in both professional and home environments. After college, I took a live-in nanny position and have been a caregiver to families for over 30 yrs while raising my two daughters.
