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.

Q: How does a child care provider interact with my child?

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

Hi My name is Lacey. I am 42 years old. I am a married, stay at home mom. My kids are 7 months, 2.5 years, 16 years, 18 years & 20 years old. I am drug, alcohol, tobacco and vape free. I am non religious. I loved helping to care for my baby brother when he was born when I was 10 years old. I started babysitting for other families at 19. I worked 7 years in a daycare. I have a degree in Criminal Justice. I thought I wanted to go into that field as my dad is a retired police chief. However, I ended up being satisfied being a full time wife, mother and babysitting :) I have a clean background, ask me to send it to you via email. I have a valid drivers license, newer vehicle and clean driving record. Feel free to message me if you have any questions :) Have a great day ☀️ Lacey
