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 have been taking care of children for a very long time! I cared for two little boys ages 2 and 4 for about a year as well as my 6 month old and 12 year old cousins. I have always loved being around children and I always make sure they feel safe and nurtured when they are with me. I did competitive swim for 10 years and have experience in teaching children ages 1-16 how to swim. Currently, I am a getting my degree in political science/pre law so that I can become a child advocacy lawyer and help children in the foster care system. I am CPR certified, first aid certified and was a Registered behavior technician for two years, so I have experience with children on the autism spectrum.

I love kids! I worked at a summer camp for 3 years and I had so much fun that I forgot I was getting paid for it! I can be serious when needed but I love to be a big brother to the child. I am very active and play college soccer. I believe my college soccer status separates me from other sitters because I am able to balance being active and getting work done. I also believe my summer camp counselor status is important because there were many times I had to “babysit” multiple kids at a time while trying to assure that every kid was having a blast!!

I have over 10 years experience as a full time nanny. I have worked for all ages. My main experience is with newborns through the age of 5 years old. So, 14 years ago, a family took a chance on me and gave me a nanny position, I had no experience, but I told them I wouldn't let them down. I needed someone to let me show them in order to gain any experience! Now 14 years later, I have worked for over 4 incredible families. I have watched their babies grow up, including the fur babies. All because someone gave me a chance! I have an amazing husband :) I have a beautiful Yorkie, Winston, at home and his sister is a cat, Miss Matty. I would love to help with your family. Please reach out to me! I am reliable, trustworthy and genuine. You can count on me when it comes to taking care of your babies. I will provide references, of course!
