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.

Hi there I'm Kathryn I truly am a caregiver at heart !! I have been caring for children for the last 10 years a nanny for 6 years and a was preschool teacher for 2 . I have cared for children from the age of new born to 15. I have experience with children that have special needs. I love to cook and bake and just over all home making. I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach. When not working I love to do crafts at home, play fetch and go on hikes with my dog and husband. My husband and I are traveling the states in our 42 foot fifth wheel, he is an electrician and can pick up a job in pretty much any state so we sold most of our possessions and hit the rode !! We will be in South Bend IN from the 3rd of April through the middle of November and i'd so love to work when in Indiana as it is my passion and caring for little ones brings my heart so much joy ! I understand it's more short term but In the past i have helped families more short term while they find the perfect long term nanny for their family and I'd love to work the 7.5 months while we are in IN!!! sincerely kathryn

I’ve helped care for children my whole life. As the oldest in my family, I’ve always been the go-to helper for my younger siblings, which taught me a lot about patience and responsibility. I started babysitting for friends and family when I was 13, and I’ve loved it ever since. I’m super outgoing and enjoy keeping kids busy and having fun — whether we’re playing games, spending time outside, or doing crafts (relaxing is great too!). I can also help with homework, meals, and cleaning. I plan to work in the childcare field in the future, and I truly enjoy making sure kids feel happy, safe, and cared for while their parents are away.
