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.

Hi my name is Morgan and I’m currently living in Niles Michigan with my roommate. I work part time at Prime Table Restaurant as a host/server. I’m the eldest sibling of 7, so I’ve basically been babysitting since my first sibling was born, just helping with whatever I could at the time. When I turned 14 my family’s friends and our church community would reach out whenever they needed a sitter for the night so I would say that’s when I started taking it a lot more serious. After Covid I took a break from babysitting to focus on getting a car and a place of my own but I would love to start back up. I’m not trained in much but I do know cpr and first aid training and I would be willing to train for other certifications for a full/part time position!
