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'm a certified surgical technologist looking for a second job that allows me to work closely with children—something I’ve always loved. After graduating high school, I worked as a nanny for several families and truly enjoyed building those connections. I also have plenty of hands-on experience caring for my own nieces and nephews. I'm energetic, reliable, and skilled in everything from diaper changes to preparing after-school meals. I'm CPR certified and have my own transportation. Have pets? No problem—I’m an animal lover, too! I’d love the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, fun, and caring environment for your children.

I am 20 years old and currently attending UCCS and living in the Springs but I am from Minnesota! I’ve worked with kids for the past four years and love getting outside and being active with them! Although I also enjoy reading books and playing games indoors when weather doesn’t allow outside play. My availability mainly caters to date nights as I am a student athlete but I’m open to babysitting whenever my schedule allows! I am very comfortable with bedtime routines and taking care of pets if needed!

I did volunteer work in the church. For 3 years I took care of children of all ages at church. Babies from 6 months to 1 year, and children from 2 to 10 years. With the babies, I helped take care of them by giving them bottles, changing their diapers and putting them to sleep. When they were awake, they played games to stimulate the baby's skills, such as painting, playing Legos or watching cartoons on TV. With the older children I did activities that also stimulate their development, such as drawing and painting, playful games, I gave them snacks and was always there to give them all the support they needed, and it was really cool, because at the same time I taught them, I also learned from them. to be patient and empathetic and to understand their needs.

Hello my name is Teresa and I am 22 years old.I have been a nanny for the past 2 years working full time. I’m currently a full time nanny to 2 kids. On my free time I like to pick up some shifts through here and care.com if I’m available. My top priority is safety, so I keep a close eye on the kids when we are out. All of the kids I have watched in the past for the most part (family and family’s friends) have been wonderful to work for. I have watched kids from ages of newborn all the way up to 13 years old. I have 2 year of full time experience as a nanny and I have loved it since. If you have any further questions, I would love to answer. Thank you:)
