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 Gabrielle, I have always loved working with children and have especially enjoyed working with infants (the majority of my work experience has been with infants/toddlers). I am CPR/AED certified and have experience working with children in their own homes and in public daycares. I love nannying kids, getting to know them, helping them learn and grow. I am also multilingual and would love to be your nanny! Quick run down of my most recent nannying experience -2 girls (3 years old) I loved working with these families and was their nanny for 2.5 years. -1 toddler (2 year old) I was with this family for 6 months before they moved to Hawaii, I went with them for about a month to help with the transition. I adored working with a toddler and doing daily learning activities and field trips. A lot of Montessori style teaching and activities. -1 infant (6 month baby) I was with this family for 6 months after moving back from Milan, IT. I worked with them in Idaho before moving down to Utah -2 infants (twin babies boy and girl) I worked with this family over the course of about 4 years. It was such a great experience working with twins and seeing them grow over the course of a few years. We are still very close I have some great references I would love to send you and always look forward to getting to know new families! Feel free to ask any questions you may have.
