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.

Hello 👋 I have about 3 cumulative years of paid childcare experience. I've worked at a daycare with 2-3 year olds. I've been at nanny for 3 children, ages 9, 4, 2 at the time of care and Ive been paid to care for a few of my own nephews and nieces. Unpaid childcare has ranged from leading Sunday school classes, homeschool co-op classes and my own children. I have an 8 year old autistic/adhd son, who I homeschool. He is high functioning. He would be with me as I am watching your children. We love to be outside, go to the library, do crafts, play games. I have had first aid and CPR training but it is not current but is something I aim willing to obtain. THANKS!

I am a mother to 3 children. I was a stay at home mother until my youngest started school. After all of my kids were in school I went to work for their school district in their kitchen and then I became a special education para in both the middle school and elementary. I worked as a para for about 4 years. As a part time job I work for GreatLife as a lifeguard so I am CPR/First Aid certified.
