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. Babysitters and nannies have the option to complete regular background checks, and you can easily request a recent background check if they don’t have one or it is not recent.

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.

Q: How does a child care provider interact with my child?

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

My name is Beckie Edwards and I am a work-from-home mom. I have a 17 year-old daughter (Morgan), a 16 year-old step-daughter (Natalie), a 12 year-old daughter (Alison), and a 4 year old son (Desmond). We have four cats and a hedgehog. I am happy to babysit in my own home if that works better for you... I actually prefer it. I have a 2014 Honda Odyssey that seats 8 people. I am more that willing to run errands or pick up/drop off children as needed. I speak enough Spanish to get by, but wouldn't consider myself "fluent". I have a very basic comprehension of the language since it has been 18 years since I took classes (3 years in high school and 1 re-fresher course in college). I love children of all ages and seem to excel with preschoolers and preteens. I enjoy playing hide-and-seek just as much as helping with homework. My favorite age group, however, is infants. I love babies! I once held a teaching position at Primrose School of East Brainerd and was promoted twice in 8 months. I have taken CPR and first aid training classes. I am also food safe certified. Feel free to ask me anything personal or professional... I'm an open book!
