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.

I have 7+ years working as a full time professional nanny. I have reared four infants into preschool and elementary. I love working with children and watching them develop into kind, well rounded humans with unique personalities. I have worked with children through out my whole career. My knowledge of early childhood education comes from my experience working 12+ years as an early childhood educator in a daycare setting. Along with classes, training sessions, and the International Nanny Training Day Seminars, I have a broad scope of knowledge and ability to use those skills throughout daily activities. I love to create! Making art with children is one of my favorite activities. My love of music and teaching piano is always fun to incorporate in daily nanny life!
