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.

I have three of my own child! I have been a live in nanny before (but not looking for that!). I have watched ages from newborn up to 12. I have experience with special needs and feel comfortable with taking care of special needs children! I am currently working as a CNA (been certificated for 3 years). If you want to know more, shoot me a message and we can discuss rates, and what I provide. Or even possibly set up an interview!

Hi! My name is Cassidy and I am 22 years old and an occupational therapy student. I have had many nanny jobs in the past. Summer of 2022 I was a full time nanny for 2 children. I love keeping children engaged in activities other than screen-time i. e. playing outside, doing crafts, making up games, etc. I have 2 nieces & 4 nephews ranging from 2-13 years old. I have lots of experience caring for them individually and separately. My undergraduate major was human development and family studies so I have taken many child development courses. I also was a dance teacher for years before college and loved every minute. I want to create a bond with your child that will last. I would love to meet with you to see if I am a good fit for your family and your needs. I look forward to chatting with you and/or meeting with you!
