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.

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.

Hello, My name is Debra. I am a strong, intelligent, healthy, middle-aged "young" woman, raised 5 beautiful boys of my own, all college educated. I am rooted in the Christian faith. I am a recent widow, and in this season of my life decided to become a Nanny. I enjoy working with children, and will bring maturity, peace, patience, love and will provide a safe and nurturing environment for your children. I have experience working with families that have up to 4 children: babies months old up to children in elementary school. I bottle feed, diaper change, take care of baby bottles, toys, laundry and put away baby clothes. I do light house work to cleanup after myself. I help with homework, read and engage in their play time, prepare simple meals/snacks for the children and provide transportation to from school / extracurricular activities. I worked with the YMCA after school care program for elementary aged children in Gwinnett County public schools. I do have experience working with special needs individuals, while providing respite care with Georgia Community Support & Solutions, an affiliate with the DBHDD (Dept of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities). Multitasking is a daily reality. I'm confident that I will be a great fit for the nanny position. Look forward to hear from you soon.
