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.

Hi friends! I’ve worked at West Minister Pre-School as a daycare worker in the past and am currently babysitting for 3 awesome families. I’ve also helped out with kids soccer camps and used to temporarily babysit for City Church during their week night services. If my passion to get a degree in finance wasn’t so strong, I’ve concluded that I’d want my permanent job to involve children in some shape or form. Therefore, I’ve just made babysitting a side hustle of mine over the past couple years! Please feel free to reach out if you’re interested or have any questions :)

My name is MiLisa and I'm a godmother to one beautiful goddaughter and I have a lot of experience babysitting infants and toddlers, and I also spent three years babysitting children with disabilities and special needs.I truly love working with young kids, and I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach. So If Anyone needing Faith Daycare & Babysitting, I'm available. I have reasonable prices $100 a week full-time for both children and $50 a day part-time for one child and I'm great with kids, I have been babysitting for 16 + years. And I will treat your child as my own, I have my CPR certificate and First Aid. And I live in the Evansville, Indiana area and I babysit ages 6 weeks old babies-5 years old toddlers Monday- Friday 7a.m.-5p.m. and I provide breakfast and lunch, snack but if parents make arrangements with me ahead of time the child can stay longer, I will provide dinner for the child. And I provide in my stockpile baby wipes and diapers and pull-ups but parents have to bring formula and bottles for their child. And I can potty train a child if needed it and the children will learn new things everyday while doing activities and the children will love playing with other children. And the children will have lunch at 11 a.m.-12 p.m. then the children will have naptime for an hour.

I love being a sitter because it allows me to support families while creating a safe, joyful space for children to thrive. I’m a responsible, emotionally intuitive caregiver with experience managing routines, playtime, and basic needs for infants and young children. I’m trained in navigating complex systems, from background checks to scheduling, and bring calm, creativity, and clear communication to every interaction. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, or simply being a kind presence, I take pride in showing up with care and consistency.
