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.

Hello! My name is Marissa and I am 35 years old. I started babysitting when I was 12 for neighborhood kids as well as my twin cousins. After I graduated high school I became a certified nursing assistant and got a job in a local hospice where I worked for over 2 years - where then I decided to go back to school and pursue my education. In the meantime, I would work side jobs for families such as babysitting or nannying. I even obtained a position in a daycare in Farmington where I gained experience in all classrooms ages ranging from infant up to school age. I am also a mother of three girls and three boys. Ages are 1-12 years of age. They would not have to come with me to jobs as they go to daycare full time monday through friday! I think it's important to be active with kids whether it be playing outside, arts and crafts, or just being quiet and having story time. My schedule is flexible right now and I am also available last minute for date nights or unexpected childcare needs. I hope to talk to you soon!

Hi! My name is Elizabeth and I am 27 years old. I have a lot of experience working with kids of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I come from a large family and regularly have done all housekeeping duties at home, such as cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping, laundry, as well as watching the kids. I have 7 younger siblings and babysat them often growing up, as well as for many other friends and families. I have had multiple nanny jobs and worked at daycares in the infant and toddler rooms as well! I have been pediatric and adult CPR and First Aid certified. I also have completed a certified child development course online. I am a single mom of a super easy going 3 year old girl. She's a very happy girl and adjusts to new surroundings and people easily. She's super used to being around other kids! I have 13 neices and nephews that we hang out with very often! I've been with my current nanny family for over a year and a half, but just recently their needs have changed with their kids entering daycare and school programs so I'm looking for something else! My daughter has come with me to all the nanny jobs I've had since she was born and it's been great! I'm more than happy to provide references. Would you be comfortable with me bringing her along? I would love to hear back from you and learn more if this position is still available!
