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.

Thank you for your interest in my services. Certifications or trainings I've completed are as follows: Infant and adult CPR, first aid, and the American College of Surgeons STOP THE BLEED® program (basic trauma care in order to stop or slow bleeding during emergencies). I've also completed a ten week program (offered through Big Lots Behavioral Health Services at Nationwide Children's Hospital) designed to prevent/treat behavioral and emotional problems in children and teenagers (specific focus on developing positive relationships, attitudes and conduct). I have extensive personal experience caring and advocating for a child dealing with ADHD, anxiety, and learning disabilities, as well as managing the subsequent challenges associated with navigating the educational system. For parents or caregivers who are dealing with this combination of challenges I would be happy to pass on all I've learned as this can be an extremely stressful situation for the entire family. My past work experience includes a position as a Toddler Teacher in a daycare, as well as working as a nanny and a babysitter (children ages newborn up to age 7). After graduating college I managed school-based mentoring programs (working with middle and high school students), followed by being a stay-at-home mom. I've considered returning to the nonprofit sector but I've realized that it's taking care of the little guys that's brought me the most joy. So here I am. Thank you again for your consideration. PLEASE NOTE: • I'm willing to provide transportation (i.e., to/from school) if parent provides the vehicle. • A copy of my background check report (completed Dec '22) is available upon request.
