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 there!! I am an upcoming sophomore at the University of North Georgia. I started working with kids in 2018. I have babysat for many different families over the last five years. I have experience with all ages, ranging from newborn to 11yrs+. I also volunteered in my churches nursery/child care center for 4 years. I am a psychology major so I understand emotions and how to handle different emotions very well. I absolutely adore children!! I feel like I learn as much from the kids as they learn from me, I love getting to know and understanding each individual kid. A big thing I have always been taught is leave it better than you found it. That meaning I always make sure to clean the houses I babysit at to help make sure the parents have minimal stress.

I have over 10 years experience as a full time nanny. I have worked for all ages. My main experience is with newborns through the age of 5 years old. So, 14 years ago, a family took a chance on me and gave me a nanny position, I had no experience, but I told them I wouldn't let them down. I needed someone to let me show them in order to gain any experience! Now 14 years later, I have worked for over 4 incredible families. I have watched their babies grow up, including the fur babies. All because someone gave me a chance! I have an amazing husband :) I have a beautiful Yorkie, Winston, at home and his sister is a cat, Miss Matty. I would love to help with your family. Please reach out to me! I am reliable, trustworthy and genuine. You can count on me when it comes to taking care of your babies. I will provide references, of course!

I love kids! I worked at a summer camp for 3 years and I had so much fun that I forgot I was getting paid for it! I can be serious when needed but I love to be a big brother to the child. I am very active and play college soccer. I believe my college soccer status separates me from other sitters because I am able to balance being active and getting work done. I also believe my summer camp counselor status is important because there were many times I had to “babysit” multiple kids at a time while trying to assure that every kid was having a blast!!
