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.

I love kids and I've always wanted to be a preschool teacher so I think this is the best entry job I can give myself. I've been helping my mom with my siblings since I was almost 10 and got my first official paid childcare job at 12 and that's all I've ever wanted to do with my life since! I have also had the pleasure of spending the last year and a half with 5 kids. I really love music and coloring, and helping children with both!

I have about five years of experience caring for children ages 2 to 10, including preparing meals, giving baths, putting them to bed, supervising playtime, and planning creative activities to keep them engaged.
