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.

I was a licensed in the state of WA for 10 + years, providing daycare out of my home. I'm a mom of four ages 22, 16, 12 & 7. Now that my kids are in school and a bit more independent, I have more time to focus on what I enjoy doing. Being a Nanny and taking care of newborns!! My absolute favorite ages are birth - 6 months old. The beauty of parenting is that you get to choose how to raise your kids. Knowing this, I am understanding and respectful priding myself on being your ally in keeping your child safe & nurtured. I tend to be high energy but yet still calm, patient and flexible when situations arise. 20+ years experience taking care of children, Newborn Care Specialist Training, Postpartum Doula Training & Sleep Coach training, I'm able to take on just about any childcare task! I'm currently only focusing on overnight care for Newborns or older babies 4 months and up that need a sleep coach so you can sleep.

Due to schedule differences, we were unable to hire Adrea but she did come by for an interview. She was on time, professional and friendly. I would feel comfortable leaving our son with Adrea. I hope we have the chance to hire her again.

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy supporting children as they learn, grow, and express themselves. Building meaningful connections and creating a safe, engaging environment is very rewarding to me. I especially value helping children develop confidence and emotional awareness through creative activities like art, reading, nature exploration, and movement. I have 24 years of experience as a certified teacher, working closely with children ages 4–14. Throughout my career, I’ve supported both academic development and social-emotional growth, adapting to each child’s unique needs and personality. My skills include strong communication, patience, and the ability to create structured yet fun learning experiences. I am trained in child development, classroom management, and fostering positive behavior. My background in education allows me to support homework, encourage curiosity, and nurture emotional well-being in a thoughtful, engaging way.
