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 Courtney. I am a 46-year-old single mom to a happy and even-tempered 4-year-old son. He comes along with me to my childcare positions. I assure you that your child will receive the same unconditional love my son does. I truly enjoy kids. Children are curious, fun, and open. It's so great to see them learning and embracing life. I have extensive life and paid experience with children from infancy to teen. I have been told I am patient, fun, and kind. I enjoy engaging kids in activities like reading, being outdoors, puzzles, games, arts & crafts, outings like museums & farmer's markets, etc. Excellent references, superb driving record, and years of experience/multiples experience! First Aid/CPR/AED certified. A little about me: I am an avid reader, beach/anything water lover, fan of dogs, horticulture nerd, and enjoy daily walking/yoga/meditation. Thank you for your time!

I cannot recommend Courtney highly enough. She is very thoughtful & organized, a great communicator & extremely reliable. My son is a year younger than hers - so having another well-behaved, sweet-natured, respectful kid around to watch & model after was a bonus!

I am currently in school to obtain my Bachelors in Elementary Education and I work for the CCSB as a teachers aid. I enjoy working with younger children and helping them learn and grow. I prefer positive reinforcement and redirection as methods of “discipline” I enjoy conversing with small children and engaging them through scaffolding and higher order thinking. I worked at the local Head Start program where we constantly interacted with the students to keep them honking and engaged.

Hey I’m Jordan! If you’re looking for a sitter 1-2 days a week then I may be a great fit for you! A little bit about me is that I’m a pretty outgoing happy person and I enjoy kids and typically don’t mind being around animals either! I grew up around pets ranging from dogs to horses. A bit of my current background is I am a paramedic and spent close to six years in EMS. Currently I work in a pediatric specific department at work. If you think I may be a great option please feel free to reach out to me. I’d love to chat about any possible options!
