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.

Hello, my name is Clara and I have taken care of children for over 40 years now and love it. I am currently with a very loving family now. They are having their second child and the mom just told me she is quitting her job to stay home with the kids. They want to still keep me but, my hours will be cut. I have been with them 3 years in April and love the little girl like my granddaughter. I have worked in a daycare center where I took care of four infants at a time loved every minute of it. I fed them, read to them, sang to them, played with them, took them outside, and saw to whatever their needs were to be done. I worked with special needs children. I helped teach one sign language so he could speak to us. I worked for them for 3 years. I only left because they divorced and the mom could not afford to pay me anymore. I worked for another couple who had 4 kids 4 dogs plus I helped clean the house. I worked there for 41/2 years. I drove their kids all over for their extracurricular activities. They will give me a great review or reference, so will the people I am with currently. I enjoy taking the kids outside, to the parks, cooking with them, doing crafts with them, playing with them, and just plain having fun. Thank you for your time.

Clara has been working for us for almost 4 years, she is truly like family and treats our daughter like her own grandchild. Clara does daily crafts, helps with housework, takes our daughter outside to play and is willing to help do whatever we need. Our daughter is so excited to play with her and do fun crafts each time she is here. She was a great help with potty training our daughter and has taught her so much over the past 4 years. She is extremely reliable and has never been late. We truly feel so blessed to have found Clara, she has been incredible for this family and we would give her our best recommendation. Please feel free to ask for my contact with any questions.

Nurturing young minds is my passion. For over 3 years, I've had the joy of caring for children aged 1-10. I find immense satisfaction in fostering their growth and development. I am patient, empathetic, and love sparking creativity through imaginative play. I'm comfortable caring for up to two children and happy to engage them with board games, puzzles, and outdoor activities. Currently, I work at a daycare 4 days a week! I have a high school degree, First Aid Training, and CPR Training. I'm also happy to help with light housekeeping. Communication is key, so I'll keep you updated on your child's day, following your preferred method. I also follow your lead when enforcing household rules. I became a caregiver to make a positive impact on children's lives. I look forward to bringing my calm and caring approach to your family.
