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.

Q: How does a child care provider interact with my child?

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

Hi, I am Parker and I have been working with children for over 5 years through a couple different areas including my church and a non profit preschool. In these groups I have been involved in both a lesson and friend role. Through these experiences I have gathered a good understanding of how to best communicate and successfully connect with kids in my care. I prefer a gentle and calm approach to all situations as this matches my personality. I strongly believe that patience mixed with showing a real care for a child is the best way to create the important bond that is needed when parents are away.

I love babysitting because I think it is great training for when I have kids some day and because not only do the kids learn more, but so do I! I am experienced with babysitting ages 1-6 but am open to older. I also am involved in working with kids at my church. I have skills in cooking for the kids and always making sure they know their ideas and imaginations are awesome!
