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 have always loved working with children. My mom ran an in-home daycare through the state until she passed and I always helped out. I have experience working in daycare settings. I also have some experience with special needs children. I currently do not have an up to date cpr/first aid card but I am willing to acquire one if you are more comfortable with it being current. Although I have held one in the past and do always keep up to date with the cpr/first aid because I do have many nieces and nephews that I am around consistently. I also currently care for my 74 year old father and am dealing with some health issues so I would prefer night work!

I'm currently an Education major at ULL so I'd love to get as much exposure with kids as I can before I go into residency. I'm the oldest of three so I have experience helping my parents with my younger siblings whether with homework or just teaching them from right and wrong. I have a few months of experience with babies under 2 and I can assure that your child will be in good hands.
