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.

Hello parents! My name is Mrs. Christina. I'm a wife and mom of four. I've been providing childcare services since the age of 13. I've worked in daycare centers since 2016; where I have been the lead teacher. I'm a very passionate, caring, loving, and responsible individual when it comes to caring for children. I enjoy being able to assist little ones in learning when it comes to reading, writing, etc. I also provide children with arts, crafts, dance time, circle time, outside play (when weather permits). I live in Columbus Georgia so I cannot travel far distances. I have my own children in different high schools I take and pick up daily. And I also work for an elementary school. I'm just currently looking for childcare positions when our local school system is closed for holidays/vacation, date nights, or some weekend services. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

I love being a babysitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids, whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, or just making them laugh. I try to make every babysitting job fun, safe, and positive. I’m currently a college student taking classes online, which means my schedule is really flexible and I can be available during the day, evenings, or weekends. I’ve looked after kids of all ages, from toddlers to middle schoolers, and I’m comfortable helping with meals, bedtime routines, homework, and chores. I’m responsible, patient, and easy to talk to. Parents can count on me to show up on time and follow directions carefully. If you’re looking for a reliable sitter who will take great care of your kids, I’d love to help out!

My absolute favorite thing to do is work with kids in many capacities. I have been doing 0-5 years old in my home church for 6 years and working daycare for about 1 year. So, I can do homework with younger children and read bibles and other books with them. It's a job where I can see positive change in the people I take care of and that brings me great joy
