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.

Hello, thanks for checking out my profile! My name is Jennifer and I'm 40 years old, with five children of my own. I have many years of experience, first and foremost, because I'm a mother. My children are ages 22 (twins), 16, 7, and 5. I also have 5 years of experience babysitting children other than my own.

I am even willing to help with other tasks, such as laundry, various cleaning, and petcare.

Hello my name is Haleigh, I really enjoy being a sitter because every child has their own personality, and it’s always so much fun watching them grown into their own person. I Feel as if I have a very happy and outgoing personality myself and that makes it easier for me to connect with children a lot easier than most. I have worked in homes with all ages and I am more than willing to learn and adapt to how you do things in your home. Im open to cooking, cleaning, running errands or attending to whatever needs you may have.
