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. Babysitters and nannies have the option to complete regular background checks, and you can easily request a recent background check if they don’t have one or it is not recent.

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 around the youth. Growing up I was always taking care of my cousins, nieces and nephews. I have worked at nursing homes so I have cared for really every age from infants to elders. I love doing activities with kids like baking and going to the park! I have a 3 year old daughter. I am a nurse. If you would like to hire me I would have to bring my daughter along with me. I would love to help someone by caring for their child while my daughter gets to make new friends and have fun!

My experience has included helping with homework, bedtime, making dinner, cleaning up the house, reading to the kids, coming up with activities, and much more. I also just recently became CPR/First Aid/AED certified.

Hello! My name is Pamela, and I have 15+ years of childcare experience. I have a degree in Early Childhood Education, and I am certified in first aid and CPR. I was an infant and toddler teacher for 8 years at a local daycare. I have experience caring for 8 infants at one time with one other helper, and caring for 10 toddlers at one time with one other helper. I also had my own home daycare for 3 years, and most recently have been a nanny for the past 3 years. I am looking for a nanny position somewhere in Columbus, or nearby. I love doing arts and crafts with kids, and spending time outdoors. I am looking for a non-smoking family that does not have any dogs inside the house, because I am allergic. I also prefer a family who is willing to do tax withholding. I am willing to travel up to 30 minutes or so outside of Columbus. please let me know if you are interested! Thanks!! :)
