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.

After teaching in an elementary classroom for 25 years, I’ve decided to continue providing care and guidance through individualized childcare for families. I enjoy reading stories, playing games, and preparing meals. My goal is to promote stability and safety for young children. My role as a childcare provider much more than just ensuring supervision. I’m happy to assist with academic skills or light housekeeping. Nothing is better than seeing parents arrive home to a clean home and children that have enjoyed time spent under my care. I’ve worked with all age ranges and I’m totally fine with changing diapers for little ones. I’m also a pet friendly sitter with no allergies towards animals. I’m also an able bodied, non smoker with a safe vehicle for transportation needs. I’m a safe driver with no driving record and own a newer model car. At this time, I am looking for periodic assignments during the evening hours during the weekday. Friday and Saturday I’m able to extend services until midnight or overnight arrangements. I’m currently unable to take assignments M-F 7AM through 6PM. I’m hoping that I can find the perfect family to assist!
