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’ve been working in childcare for over 7 years. I absolutely love working with kids and am currently pursuing a career in elementary education through Winona State (online). I’m CPR certified, have experience as a camp counselor, and have been babysitting since I was 15. I was a full time nanny last summer for 2 girls, ages 2 and 8. I also work as a special education paraprofessional, which has given me experience supporting children with special needs. I'm comfortable helping with homework, driving to and from activities, making food and snacks, housekeeping, and creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids of all ages. I would be able to start the first week of June and would be mostly free the entire summer. I also have experience with newborns and pets. I’m passionate about helping children learn, grow, and feel supported every step of the way!
