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 Katie 🙂 I have a true passion for working with children and supporting their growth—both academically and emotionally. I am currently returning to Chattahoochee College to finish my bachelor’s degree in psychology, with the goal of pursuing a counseling degree. My experience includes: - Tutoring children ages 10–17 at accredited schools, helping them succeed in their studies and build confidence. - Volunteering with programs supporting children, creating a safe, fun, and inclusive environment through play and creative activities. - Serving as a member of daycare teams, caring for and engaging with children of all ages. - Growing up in a family of nine children—so I’m very familiar with the art of organized chaos! 😂 Additional background: I have also worked for a care company providing medical care and assistance to the elderly, which helped me develop patience, empathy, and strong attention to detail. My professional experience also includes seven years as a server at Cracker Barrel and Longhorn Steakhouse, two years as a receptionist and chiropractic assistant at a family chiropractic office, and a year as a front desk receptionist at a resort. I left my most recent position to care for my elderly father before he transitioned into assisted living. With my free time, I aspire to support busy families and try a new path in childcare, where I can put my skills and compassion to work. A few more things about me: - I’ve completed an Introduction to Childcare course at Chattahoochee College and am currently pursuing my CPR/First Aid certification (expected completion: 07/15/25). - I’m skilled in cooking healthy meals, keeping spaces clean and organized, and I’m always happy to help with homework and light housekeeping. - My mindset is to always leave a place better than I found it. I work hard, believe in the work I do, and bring a positive attitude everywhere I go. I am available most weekdays (except for a class between 2–3 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays) and am seeking positions paying $17/hr or more. I am more than happy to email my resume with over six references (not counting family with children) upon request. I would love the opportunity to support your family and help your children succeed. Thank you for considering me—I look forward to meeting you and your family!
