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.

Hi! I’m Elizabeth, and I’ve always loved working with kids and helping them learn, grow, and have fun. I first started babysitting in high school, caring for children of different ages for about a year. Since then, I’ve continued working closely with kids through my job at the library, where I’ve spent the past three years planning and helping with programs, activities, and story times for children. I bring patience, creativity, and strong communication skills to every interaction. I’m reliable, organized, and great at keeping kids engaged—whether it’s through crafts, reading, or imaginative play. I believe in creating a safe, positive, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with children and will treat your little ones with care and respect, I’d love to be your sitter!
