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.

I love working with children! I have recently nannied a family but they just went to school. I have been a preschool teacher at a small private school for 1 year. I worked at a daycare starting as an assistant teacher in the infant/toddler side and eventually got my CDA and became lead teacher, eventually moved to the preschool side and was lead teacher there for a little bit as well. I have also babysat family friends kids off and on as they need it and I am free. I have had my CPR certification but it has expired since last time I took it, I am of course willing to take it again for the comfort of the parents if needed:)

My name is Michaela and I’m looking for a family to nanny for! I’ve worked as an infant teacher, nanny, and occasional babysitter for the past 3 years! I am also CPR and First Aid certified. I have experience with children ranging from 8 weeks to 12 years old. My specialty is primarily with infants but it is not limited to just infants! My overall goal is establishing trust with parents and creating a safe environment in their home for their children while they’re gone.

Hello! I have been a child care provider almost my whole life! Started as a child as a mother’s helper and evolved into a babysitter, nanny, daycare worker, and home daycare provider. I have 3 grown children of my own! I am seeking a new opportunity where all of my attention can be directed to a few children rather than many! I have loved my home daycare but have always missed being a nanny and being able to provide more one on one care.

First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to considering my ability to help you. I was a full time nanny for 4 boys ranging from newborn-10. I've been on amd off with them the past 5 years. I would say that I have a lot to offer considering I have a crazy amount of care, patience, and love for all children. I love being active and love to keep the kids entertained without electronics. I have a lot to offer to any family that is willing to take a chance. Thank you!

Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and watching them learn, grow, and have fun. It’s rewarding to know I can make them feel safe, cared for, and happy while their parents are away. What experience do you have? I’ve been babysitting since I was 12, and I have over five years of experience caring for children of all ages, including kids with special needs. I’ve handled everything from playtime and homework help to bedtime routines and light meals. What skills and training do you have? I’m patient, calm, and responsible. I’m great at keeping kids engaged through games, crafts, and activities, and I always follow the parents’ rules and routines. While I’m not certified in CPR or first aid, I take safety very seriously and stay attentive at all times.
