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 mom of 5, so I have plenty of experience! I don't want to charge an arm and a leg, I know how hard it is out there. Besides taking care of my own children, I also babysat full-time for my friend's children for about 5 years. I am willing to do cleaning, meals, homework help, whatever you need. I believe in interacting and engaging with kids, not just putting them in front of a screen.

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!
