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.

My name is Alicia Harrigan. Firstly I am a mother of 4 and a grand mother of a 2 year old grandson who I adore. My last job was working in elderly care.. Raising my 4 children as a single mother show me alot about nurturing, caring for alot of people....I love children over all. I have worked with children from all ages since I have worked for the ministry of Education in Antigua for 19 years where I assist with special needs and children and teachers from all different grades. I have dealt with a special need child by taking care of him and his twin brothers in Florida for 3 months. I love taking care of babies, children and elderly people. I love interacting, doing fun things, keeping them clean, cooked their meals and make sure that they eat good and healthy food. I am also a cook, so I love preparing fresh and healthy meals daily. I think my experience as a mother of now 4 grown adults and been working with children professionally and in house one on one and also with my nurturing, loving and caring spirit it's a positive outcome for anyone to consider me to be around their children. It is my pleasure to say so much about me. God Bless Looking forward to hear from you. Blessings

Hi! My name is Elayiah Sparks, and I absolutely love working with kids! I recently graduated high school and have years of experience caring for children in different environments. I worked at Foundation Academy for years, including 3 paid years, where I was able to work with multiple age groups and grow confident in caring for children of all ages. I also worked with kids at Xtreme Air and through cheerleading at Perry High School. Our kiddie camps were one of my favorite parts because I truly love teaching, encouraging, and interacting with children! I’ve babysat for two military families and have also taken a CPR class. I’m a very patient, dependable, and considerate person who always wants the child to feel comfortable, safe, and happy around me. I’m also a Christian, and my faith has taught me the importance of kindness, responsibility, and treating others with love and respect. Kids naturally seem to connect with me, and I genuinely enjoy creating a fun, caring, and positive environment for them. Helping people has always been something I love, and working with children brings me so much joy!
