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 love working with kids. I have two younger siblings no older than 12. I helped raise my two little siblings since they were born. I have also helped out with kindergartners and preschoolers. I can cook and bake and clean. I know how to do first aid. I am certified in CPR. I do not have a licenses. But if need to be I can watch the kids at my house. I do have some health problems that shouldn't affect this job too much. I have trouble standing for too long and will need to sit from time to time. But other than that I can still help watch children.

Hi! My name is Makayla, and I’m a senior at Miami University studying nutrition with a concentration in dietetics. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for children of all ages through helping look after my seven younger cousins, from infants to older kids, so I’m comfortable with the many phases of childhood and daily routines.

I understand what it takes to care for children as they have needs and it is important as a sitter to care for them at top priority.
