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.

Q: How does a child care provider interact with my child?

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

I love working with kids because it reminds me of how amazing and exciting the world can be. I started working with kids when I was about 13 years old. I started working with kids of special needs about 4 years ago. I have been working with infants for about 4 years as well and since then I have been working with children of all ages. In my spare time, I like to volunteer with the special needs community along with local events. When I'm not volunteering I enjoy reading and studying. One thing you should know about me is I work well with children that have special needs, and work well with larger groups of children. My skills include patience, enthusiasm, compassion and empathy.

My name is Carniecia and I love kids. I’m currently working in military loans by day and a self-motivated organized goal oriented crafter by night. I’m 24 years old looking to relocate to the Kansas City area. My goal as a babysitter is to help kids learn, keep them and engaged and mostly happiness. I've been babysitting since I can remember and was offered a few nanny jobs but did not have the time. I love kids and the joy I get from teaching them, as well as helping their parents achieve their goals along the way.

I have had experience with many different customer service jobs, but something always brings me back to working with kids. I spend many hours a week volunteering at a local third-grade classroom, and every summer since I was fourteen I have worked hands-on with kids. I love being able to talk and have fun with kids while also being an important role model for them. I am very kind yet very driven, which makes me a great person in charge.
