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 being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy working with children and helping them learn, grow, and feel supported. It’s rewarding to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can thrive. I am currently in PA school, and prior to that, I worked as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), supporting children of all ages, especially those with autism and other special needs. This experience gave me a strong foundation in understanding children’s individual needs and providing effective, compassionate care. I have hands-on experience working with children with diverse needs, including behavior management and structured learning techniques. I also have skills in food preparation, basic sign language, and creating a safe, engaging environment for children. My training as an RBT has equipped me to handle various situations calmly and effectively.
