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 mom to 6 grown children. I am also a former elementary PE teacher and middle school coach. When caring for babies cuddling, singing, and reading is a fun way to spend awake times. I know that toddlers and big kids want to stay active and busy! Things I love- being outside, going on nature walks, bike rides and back yard explorations, finding frogs and lizards and making collections of beautiful leaves and rocks. I love birds, throwing baseball, shooting basketball, kicking soccer balls, throwing frisbees and footballs, jumping rope and coloring with side walk chalk. While inside coloring, playing with play doh and reading are my favorites. I enjoy sitting along side as legos or other sorts of creations are developed. I am an undefeated candy land opponent :). I am interested in part time jobs, covering for date nights, one time stays and possibly occasional overnights. Pets are fine with me.

Hello, I’m Shy! I’ve worked with children for 7+ years in various settings such as after-school programs and daycares, and I’m currently working on completing my student teaching through GGC. I truly enjoy connecting with kids of all ages and helping them feel supported, safe, and encouraged. Growing up as the second oldest of four siblings gave me plenty of hands-on experience in caring for and guiding children. I’m excited to continue this journey and can’t wait to bring my energy, care, and creativity to the families I work with!

Hello! My name is Alex, I’m 18 years old, and I am very experienced with childcare. I love taking care of kids and have a passion for helping today’s youth. When I was younger, I was undiagnosed (ADHD), and many of my babysitters didn’t know how to properly care for me. Now I’m hoping to be the babysitter and caretaker I wish I had as a kid. I am also extremely experienced in mental healthcare and have all the coping mechanisms to help any child in need.

I have two and a half years of experience caring for children. Most of my work has involved taking care of more than three kids at a time, which has helped me build strong multitasking and organizational skills. For the past year and a half, I have been working full time with a family that has four children, each with different needs, routines, and personalities. I’ve developed strong time management and problem-solving skills, and I’m quick to adapt to the needs of each child.

I love being around kids and playing with them. I am an older sister to two younger brothers and always had great instincts with children. I started getting paid to babysit when I was 13 years old. I have had many babysitting jobs with children of all ages from 3 months- 12 years old. I am CPR and First Aid certified from my lifeguard training, where I lifeguarded children in several summer programs. I was also a nanny for a year, where I would pick the kids up from school and watch them 3-4 days a week.
