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.

I grew up with a family of six, so I would take care of and babysit my siblings when my parents needed me to. I have my babysitting license and I know how to perform the Heimlich and mouth to mouth/CPR! I also am vaccinated and have my own car, so I can provide transportation if needed.

I have been working with kids for about 10 years now. My first job was as a party attendant and keeping kids safe at the play area. After, I started working at an after school program named Host where I was in charge of a group of 20 kids ages 5-8 years old. I have been babysitting ever since!

Hello! My name is Alexis. I have been watching babies and kids on and off for about 10 years. I have always connected with being a caregiver. I've wanted to be a mom ever since I can remember and I made that dream come true when I was 19, meeting my partner that had 3 beautiful boys that I fell in love with instantly. Since then we've added 2 girls and our last addition who is a 1 year old boy. I work part time as a server at Waffle House and homeschool my children. I want to help out in any way a family needs it and that I can provide without taking away too much from my own which I'm sure any other mama or daddy can understand. My goal is to just supply my family with some extra income while I'm in school to become a nurse and do something I actually like doing in the process! Thank you for considering me for your family.

I have worked as a nanny/ caregiver since I was 19 years old. I cared for 3 kids under 4 years and the mother who was in a bad car accident and bed redden. A couple of years later I got the pleasure to care for a 4 month old until she was 2 1/2. Next I got my Associates degree in Early childhood/Elementary education. Then worked for a couple of preschools and got a Paraprofessional job in Jackson County and worked with regular and special needs children. Pretty much have been doing that ever since. I have recently moved to Lynn Haven with my husband due to him getting a job offer down here. We are from Statham,Ga and have lived there for 50 years. We have 2 adult children 23 and 19. I enjoy working with children and I have a big heart that loves and cares for every child in my life. I love to play, read and learn with them.
