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 love working with children! I have four younger siblings and I have helped raise them since they were babies. I have also taught gymnastics to ages 3-16 for three years and been a part of VBS and helping at nursery at my church for 9 years. I can work with all ages and help manage a household on my own. My parents both had full time jobs growing up so I was the stay at home mom for our family, this taught me how to be responsible, patient and have good communication as well with the children and parents. I have been a babysitter for many people and I am willing to work with more than one child or pet. I have had multiple dogs in the past and love caring for them too. I can do anything from meal prep to running errands and caring for a sick child.
