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.

Q: How does a child care provider interact with my child?

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

Hi! Im Jonny! I am originally from Hazard, Kentucky, but am attending UofL as a Freshman currently with a Major in Nursing. My reason for wanting to work with kiddos while in college is because my focus area in hospital will be Peds. I grew up in Foster Care most of my life. I like to help my community in anyway I can, and have a big thing for pets, especially cats. For some reason cats love me, 90% of them at least. I also have Major experience with those on the Autism Spectrum, especially considering the fact that I am on it myself. Sometimes people say I'm smarter than I need to be for my own good, but I find that one of my many charms.

I am an 18-year-old high school senior with over four years of babysitting experience, having worked with children since I was 14 years old. I am CPR certified and comfortable caring for children of various ages. I attend school on a half-day schedule, which gives me more flexibility and availability than the average high school student. I also participate in track and field, but practices do not begin until later in the afternoon, allowing me to remain dependable for daytime and early evening care. I genuinely enjoy working with children and take pride in creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment for them. I am responsible, patient, and attentive, and I always strive to meet each family’s needs.I do not charge an increase rate for multiple children. I am seeking to earn extra income to help support my college education, and I would love the opportunity to care for your children!!
