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.

Babysitting is more than a job for me, it’s something I truly enjoy! With six years of experience, I love helping kids and families. I'm patient, creative, and friendly, and I'm always up for games and activities. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children of any age and follow your rules. I communicate how you prefer. I have some college courses and CPR/First Aid certifications. I'm looking for a family to babysit starting in August. I'm available Mondays, Fridays, and weekends, and I'm also free after my classes Tuesday-Thursday. I'm happy to help with food prep and tasks around the house, and I'm comfortable with pets. I have my own car. I'm excited to bring my energy and experience to your family!
