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.

Hi! I’m Ariel! 😊 I’m a caring, responsible, patient, and dependable person who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. Although I don’t have professional paid babysitting experience yet, I have experience being around and caring for children and I’m excited to build my experience through Wyndy. I’m someone who takes responsibility seriously and always wants children to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I enjoy playing games, doing activities, helping with meals and routines, and keeping kids entertained. I’m also happy to help with light cleanup related to the children. I’m currently taking college classes, so I’m looking for babysitting opportunities that work well with my schedule. I’m hardworking, friendly, and easy to communicate with, and I’ll always do my best to make parents feel comfortable and confident while their children are in my care. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and help out whenever I can! 💗

Hi, I’m Brittany. I’ve been a stay at home mama for over 10 years. Even before I became a mom, I worked in a preschool, nannied and babysat my way through high school and college. My identity is deeply rooted in helping children thrive especially in their early years. My time being a mother has truly refined my take on childcare and I would love to bring that experience to another family! (I will get CPR certified. I have always been in the past, but it did expire.)
