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 absolutely love working with kids. I strive my best everyday to teach and help each child grow in every way that they can. I am extremely dedicated and focused on each job I am given. I would absolutely love to be your babysitter! I have several years of paid childcare experience with multiple families, caring for children from infancy through preteen ages. My responsibilities included feeding and changing infants, organizing age-appropriate activities, assisting with homework, preparing meals, and ensuring a safe and nurturing environment. In addition to in-home care, I also worked for a short time in a daycare setting, which gave me experience managing larger groups of children, collaborating with other caregivers, and following structured routines and safety procedures. These roles strengthened my communication skills with both children and parents and deepened my understanding of child development across different age groups

(My photo is waiting to be approved)Hi! I’m Emma. I am looking to babysit, house sit, or whatever it is while my first job is slowing down. I’m a responsible, hardworking, and caring person who truly enjoys taking care of others. I’ve always been the type of person who steps up when someone needs help — whether it’s family, friends, or kids. I work two jobs, volunteer at church, and stay active, so families can count on me to show up, follow through, and keep their children safe. I’m patient, gentle, and great at keeping kids engaged. I love doing hands-on activities, playing games, helping with routines, and making sure kids feel comfortable and cared for. I’m very attentive, calm in stressful moments, and good at creating a positive and fun environment. Parents describe me as reliable, easy to communicate with, and someone who genuinely cares. I’m comfortable with all ages, including toddlers and older kids. I’m also very organized, able to multitask, and naturally good at following instructions. Safety is always my priority, and I take the responsibility seriously. I’d love to support a family who needs someone dependable, kind, and trustworthy. I’m excited to help make your day easier and give your kids a fun, safe time while you’re away.
