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.

l have been a private nanny for the last seven years in New Jersey, North Carolina, Washington, and now Maryland. However, I took time off to have a daughter of my own. Now that she is three, and starting preschool, I have decided it's time to go back to work! I have experience watching multiple children, twins, and children with developmental disabilities. Every summer for the last 10 years I have volunteered at a 1-on-1 camp for children with developmental disabilities handling all duties including bathing, changing diapers on teenage campers, feeding, engaging in activities, dispensing medications, transitioning campers in wheelchairs into another chair or bed, etc. We love music, arts and crafts, and being outside when the weather permits. I am looking to provide care in my own home. We have a surplus of toys both indoor and out and a fenced in yard with a large playground.
