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.

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!
