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.

With four years of experience caring for children of all ages, I am passionate about creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for every child I look after. I love being a sitter because it gives me the opportunity to build meaningful connections with kids, support their growth, and bring joy to their daily routines. My experience includes working with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, managing everything from meal prep and bedtime routines to engaging educational activities and playtime. I am skilled at handling multiple children at once, adapting to different family needs, and ensuring a structured yet enjoyable atmosphere. In addition to my hands-on experience, I am trained in basic first aid and CPR, providing parents with peace of mind that their children are in safe hands. I pride myself on being responsible, patient, and creative, always striving to make babysitting a positive experience for both kids and parents.

In 1988-1989, I completed a vocational program in child day care management. In 1990, I worked for 7 months as a temporary nanny for a child recovering from heart surgery. The job ended when the child was well enough to go back to day care. I have worked as a high school teacher for 15 years. I am also a mom. (Young empty-nester with no grandchildren. That is why I want to work as a nanny.)

Hi there! My name is Adrienne and I am a professional nanny and most recently a special education paraprofessional. I am trained as an infant teacher in a Montessori school and Primrose schools. I have my infant and toddler CDA (Child Development Associate), CPR and First Aide, and a certified caregiver. I have spent many years with children aside from my own, including special needs as both a . paraprofessional and behavior technician. I am looking to grow with a family and help in anyway I can. I know how busy this world can be today. If I can offer assistance to help I certainly will. My philosophy is simple. My job is to teach each child to be the most independent they can be! My job is to teach patience, encourage curiosity and most of all help develop the abilities to begin to learn all about the world and their place in it! I have extensive knowledge in potty training a toddler! I can do it in 1-2 days! Reach out if I can help in any way.
