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.

I love being a sitter because I love helping families feel at ease with their everyday obligations. I am only child, and my parents were always working long hours. Every child deserves amazing care, and I love being able to create fun memories for kids. Even though I don't have siblings, all my friends do, and I grew up caring for them and also babysitting for my teachers kids. I am extremely responsible, organized, and patient. I have experience mostly in hospitality, and I think if people can handle difficult people, they can handle kids. My previous job titles read, financial data associate, hotel concierge, and a barista, plus many more!
