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. Babysitters and nannies have the option to complete regular background checks, and you can easily request a recent background check if they don’t have one or it is not recent.

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 currently a senior at Ball State and I am only taking one class. I’m majoring in hospitality and have been working in different areas within the field. Throughout all my jobs I’ve had I’ve found a love for being able to take care of kids. I can’t wait to be a mom myself! I’ve got a flexible schedule each week. I love being active and learning new things. I love Jesus and spend part of my time being a leader for Delight ministries at Ball State two nights a week. I look forward to finding a family in the area to work with :)

I have been babysitting kids since I was about 14. I have watched as young as a 2 month all the way up to my cousin who is 9 and I regularly watch. I am a student in school looking for a part time job that can work with my schedule. I can also clean, cook, run errands, or whatever else is needed for the job. I have a car that will fit two full car seats, but also has a middle seat in the back. I love kids and being a babysitter/nanny is a dream job of mine. During school I will have to work part time, but over breaks I can work more hours. Thank you for taking the time to look at profile!
