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'm a kind, gentle, and dependable sitter who truly loves being a nurturing and supportive presence for children. I have professional experience as a behavior technician, where I worked closely with young children, where they are. I enjoy creating calm, flexible routines that support each child's individual needs and allow them to feel safe, comfortable, and encouraged. I'm especially attentive during moments when children need reassurance, quiet connection, or gentle support, and I take pride in providing care that is thoughtful, warm, and responsive. I'm happy to help with play, learning activities, simple meals, and daily routines while offering a steady and nurturing presence for families. I'm currently available on weekdays and Saturdays and am open to regular or ongoing care.

I am a fun and imaginative caregiver! I love working with kids, even though admittedly they can be tiring and wear a person out, but they're also fun and it's a special experience seeing the world through their eyes and interacting with kids and using my own imagination to encourage their imaginations. I started working with kids when I was 15-years-old. At an interview I had for a nannying position I was asked if I have a child care philosophy, and while I don't exactly have one, I don't like just putting a child in front of the tv; I much prefer laying and interacting with the child(ren) I am caring for. Occasionally I don't mind putting on a pre-approved movie or show if that has already been arranged with the parent, but that is more of a special occasion thing.
