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 my name is Bri, I’m 23 & a mom to an energetic two year old, so a little (or a lot) of chaos doesn’t scare me. I’m also looking for a family that is open to bringing the little one with. I have been working in the childcare setting since I was 16 on and off & have been at my current employer for a little over 9 months. I’m wanting to get my foot into the nanny world as I love children but want to grow that one on one care with them. Overall I bring a mix to the table from snack negotiations to a loving and safe environment where they can learn to grow. I hope to connect with you & your little ones and treat them just as I would my own. Pay: $20-$25/hr depending on number of kiddos Kids & age: up to 3 any age
