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.

Dear Prospective Family, I'm so grateful you are taking the time to read my profile and I would love to tell you a little about myself. I've been a professional nanny for over 15 years now, seamlessly integrating myself into each household I work in. I'm mature yet fun, physically fit, kind and dependable. I was licensed by the Mass. Dept. of Early Education & Care as a family childcare assistant, trained in child development. The majority of the families I have worked with, I started when their children were newborns and continued until they went to school. My most recent job was working as a nanny/family assistant for a family with 4 children. I've cared for twins, children with autism, non verbal children and other special needs such as feeding tubes. I've always loved kids and growing up I babysat any baby I could get my hands on! Now, this is my career and it is truly the most rewarding experience I could have, and I wouldn't change it for the world. I would love to speak to you more about my experience and see if I would be a good fit for your needs. I appreciate your time and I look forward to hearing from you!

Hey there! I just joined sitter-city so my profile is a bit bland! But I would love to send you my resume and references - including the family I work for now! I love infants and young kids - and I have alot of references and experiences. In my younger years I worked in the infant and 3 year old room at both Primrose and Goddard. I am looking for hours that work with my current family. I work with them from 2:30pm to 6:30pm. (But this could possibly be flexible) Hopefully those hours work or maybe we could make some sort of arrangement because I'd love to help your family! Also - I love dogs. I have my own pup and most of the people I have worked for have dogs as well :-) Let me know, Brianna Taylor
