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 babysitting for various reasons! My first sitting job was with my baby cousin and it helped me find something I love to do. Every child is different and it shows you how amazing it is to get to know them. I have baby sat my cousin, sister, and extended family! These were covid years which is why it is all family related but I have been around countless of church members children having to watch them. I’m not certified in CPR but we took multiple tests on it in my various health classes. I also understand first aid well. My graduation pathway was mostly learning first aid and child care!

I am currently a senior at Indiana University studying Psychology and business. Starting in January, I will be a part time student and I am looking to help out a family with childcare needs throughout the following semester. Growing up with 6 older siblings and 7 nieces and nephews, I have spent my whole life around kids, action, and chaos (which I love). Every summer, I nanny and babysit regularly for family and friends. I worked for 5 years as a camp counselor, taking care of girls aging from 7 to 12 and leading activities, crafts, sports, and outdoor projects. I am patient, fun-loving, kind, and work well with children of any age or personality. I am CPR + First Aid certified and feel ready and prepared to creative a safe yet fun and engaging environment for kids. I feel more than comfortable driving, cooking, helping with homework, or anything else that you or your children may need!
