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 am a mother of 2 and I have 4 grandchildren. My family means the world to me so I understand the importance of having a trustworthy, loving sitter to care for your precious child(ren). Every child is a special gift from God. I love to play games, do crafts, and take the time to teach them something new whenever an opportunity arises. Most of all, I love HUGS! As a grandmother and a daycare provider at church for over 6 years, I have found that caring for children is what I love most. I would love an opportunity to provide the loving care your child(ren) needs when you're not there. I live in Adairsville. My current daytime family of 4 years is moving away so I'll be available after August 1st. I am also available for date nights and weekends.
