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.

As an educator of 26 years, I have a wide range of skills and experience. I have a bachelors degree in early childhood education and a masters degree in administration. My background has taught me the importance of actively engaging children in meaningful activities, both inside and outdoors. Inside, I enjoy engaging children in educational games, puzzles, and board games. When the fun is moved outside, I will encourage age-appropriate play that fits your child's interests. Finally, other important facts to consider is that I am an animal lover, don't mind running a few errands, can prepare meals, and will communicate while you are out based on your preferences. Thanks for taking the time to read my bio and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
