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 being a sitter because I enjoy creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment where kids can feel comfortable being themselves. I have one year of official child care experience working at Crossroads Christian Church Daycare, where I cared for children ages 4 through 11+, helping with activities, supervision, and daily routines. I’m patient, reliable, and great at keeping kids engaged while still making sure responsibilities get done. I’m good at helping with homework, meal prep, light housekeeping, and chores, and I’m happy to work in pet-friendly homes. I do well with structured routines but can also adapt to each child’s personality and needs. Childcare is my passion, and I want to help families and children have an easier time in life.
