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 being a nanny because I get to be a part of the little moments that make childhood so special. I love watching children learn, grow, and discover the world around them, while being someone they can feel safe, loved, and comfortable with. There’s nothing more rewarding than building a genuine bond with a child and knowing I’ve made a positive impact on their day—and hopefully their life. Being a nanny isn’t just a job to me; it’s something I truly love and take pride in.

grow up I would take care of my family friends kids so they could work or go run errands without having to worry about bringing their kids. I love kids, I love teaching them new things and how creative little kids could get with their imagination. I've always wanted kids of my own since I was younger. I am 21 in my first year of college for nursing and I love helping people and caring for them
