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.

I am going to be starting a coaching job at the end of July for Moorhead High. My hours of availability are going to be kind of funky until the fall. I am available early mornings 6am-3pm Monday through Friday. With games out of town during the week I wouldn’t be available on certain days but do have a schedule for a heads up on what days I wouldn’t be in town. Some Fridays I will also need to leave town for games and occasional Saturdays. Otherwise I am free Sundays. I nannied 2 boys for a summer in 2017 from 7am-5pm and I worked at a childcare/ preschool from October 2019 to March 2020 from 7am-6pm; I worked with infants, toddlers, and preschool age kids. I love kids and am the oldest of 5 girls so babysitting is in my nature! I do my best to include daily play time, learning time, and electronic management. I love sports and being outside and am also very into arts and crafts! I also love pets besides snakes!

I am 19 and just moved to Pittsburgh from North Dakota! One thing im leaving behind is my family which includes 5 kids, 3 dogs, and 3 cats. Helping children grow is something that brings me tremendous joy! I have been babysitting since I was 11 and have cared for a variety of ages, infants, toddlers, preschool, elementary, and some middle school children as well! I previously took a babysitting course with the red cross which granted me certification in CPR for children(I haven’t renewed this but am planning to soon). I also worked as a mentor in an after school program for children ages elementary and middle school who were in low income or first generation families. In high school I took a trip to Ecuador and helped young kids and kids with disabilities in orphanages!
