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.

I am a happy, energetic sitter who has a passion and love for taking care of children. Babysitting has always been something I’ve enjoyed doing, not only because I get to help the children, I get to help the parent(s) as well. I started babysitting when I was 12 but I started getting paid for it at 15. I babysat my cousins and family friends children. I engage in helping cook and clean. I can help with homework or help keep the children entertained. I want to help ensure a healthy and safe environment and establish great communication with the parent(s).
