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. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

Hey my name is Abbie! I am a 20 year old college student. I have babysat for as long as I can remember! I worked at Little Tigers Academy daycare in Temple, GA for a year, and I absolutely loved it. Most of my experience is with infants and toddlers, but I also have experience with elementary age kiddos. I have been through several childcare trainings, and I have my CPR and BLS certification for all ages through American Red Cross. I love working with and watching children as it is one of my greatest passions! I also love animals; however, I have a severe allergy to cats. I am fully vaccinated (including covid vaccine). I am currently working as a tech at Higgins ER. I am very open to other cultures and love learning about and experiencing them.

I was a nanny for an infant twins group in my 20s. I married a minister and began working church nurseries and helping with children’s programs like VBS and youth groups. I have four children of my own, who are now teenagers and young adult adults. I am still involved in volunteer work, but now that my children are older, I would love to help a young family needing childcare.
