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.

Hello, I have been caring for children for as long as I can remember, from helping raise me younger siblings to helping my mother babysit. I love children of all ages and have experience caring for children of all ages. I grew up babysitting. And also have over two years experience working in days cares. I have taken many child care classes such as sleep classes and child development classes. I have been an EMT (emergency medical technician) for almost 6 years and am CPR trained. I love to do crafts, read books, and play outside. I have no problem with meal prep, light house work and driving the kiddo(s) to school or other events, and I am a non smoker. Thank you and I look forward to meeting you and your family!
