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.

Hi my name is Macy, I am looking for something more full time as of now. While I haven’t had any paid babysitting jobs in the past I have looked after children while their parents were out and have a lot of experience with kids. I am trying to start out my babysitting and nannying career. I am very flexible and am looking to start around late December-January or later if needed. I am currently not cpr certified but before I start any job I will be getting cpr certified because I believe that is a needed precaution. I am very organized and always upbeat. I hope to create a safe and happy environment for your children. Thank you for your time!
