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.

I recently had my first child and have decided it’s time to transition into a job that he can be with me. Some background of my experience: After my senior year of high school, I nannied for my moms' coworker. She has 3 children, 2 boys 1 girl. The oldest was 9, the middle was 5 and the youngest was 1. When COVID started and shut down my college I nannied for her again due to her daycare provider shutting down. I also grew up helping my grandma in the daycare she owned. I hold a CNA license, but am taking a break from healthcare. I have a bachelors in child development. I encourage more play than screen time and when weather permits love being outside. I will ensure the safety of your child/children. I also ensure they have fun while I am with them.
