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'm a 56 year-old Mom and psychotherapist who has worked extensively with children, with both emotional and behavioral issues. I have a Master's of Science degree in Psychology. I would like to care for children/adolescents, as I've made the recent decision to take an extended hiatus from my professional work. Since having another child is not in the proverbial cards for me, I have come to the conclusion that working in a caregiver capacity would be a very therapeutic alternative. 🙂 My availability is between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. I can provide and prepare snacks, however I'm not a good cook--just ask my son. 😉 Oh yes--I'm CPR / First Aid / AED certified!⚕️ CV and references provided upon request.
