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.

Margaret is a remarkable lady. Her kindness, patience, and positivity are exactly what you need in a sitter. She did really well with our toddler and newborn. My family enjoyed working with her.

I love engaging with children and contributing to their growth and happiness! I have had experience with multiple children babysitting 3-6 children at one time and over night. I also have experience with potty training and toddlers for all day care. In one of my previous jobs, I was a home health aide. Therefore I have experience with CPR, vitals, cooking, cleaning, bathing, and activities.
