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! My name is Abrielle but I go by Brie as a nickname. I love being a sitter for kids as I get to gain even more experience in childcare. Working with kids of any age can help gain a different perspective and other aspects to look into. I was a student teacher in high school my sophomore - senior year. I have worked in a preschool for 2 years now and babysit some families from the school on the side occasionally. I have first aid and cpr training. I also have early childhood training as well.

I have 9 years experience working with children and adults, I am certified in Home Health and I also have both my CPR and First Aid certification.

Hi, I’m cassi. Thank you for taking the time out to review my profile. I’m the second oldest out of 5 kids. I have been babysitting my 3 younger brothers since I was 12. I’m 24 now and still babysit them bc one of them is handicapped and another one has mild autism. I stay at home to help my family bc my mom has a rare condition and can’t do as much as she use to. I clean around the house, do laundry, take our dog on her daily walk/run, do homeschool with my brothers when needed to, I go to doctor/ therapy appointments for my brothers, etc. I can babysit any age group including kids with special needs. I have always loved being around and caring for children. I love seeing their face light up with joy over some of the smallest things. i enjoy seeing them learn something new everyday. I love playing hide and seek, board games, hiking, nature photography, baking, arts and craft(even though I’m not good at it, it’s still always fun), reading books to little kids, playing outside, etc. I’m compassionate, kind, patient and full of energy. I’ll be shy at first but as you get to know me you’ll see a whole different side( good though, I promise ). I’m going to be honest though and say I don’t drive as of right now because I have driving anxiety but I do have a ride to be able to get to your place. I know that a lot of families require your own transportation which is why I’m letting you know in advance. If this is alright then that’s good. i used to have a certification for cpr but not anymore since it expired. but i still know everything that has to been done in any case of emergency
