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! My name is Hannah, and I have been involved with childcare since 2013. I’ve served with church ministries such as Vacation Bible School, Awana, preschool care and various weekly youth activities. I’ve been a babysitter for kids of all ages and have babysat up to five at a time. After high school graduation, I spent a year abroad working in Ireland. Much of my time there was spent volunteering alongside my local church with children’s and youth ministries. I thoroughly enjoy working with children and love getting to know them and to their families!

I am a loving and nurturing caregiver who is trying to leave the daycare work and enter a more one on one nanny setting. I started child care in 2022 and have worked in daycares as a teaching assistant ever since both full and part time throughout the years. When working part time at daycare I was nannying as well and fell in love with the more engaging and personal setting. My favorite part of childcare is helping the children grow and assisting to their personal needs as a child and I find daycare can be hard to accomplish that with so many children. I have experience from 4months (nannying) to 3/4 years (nanny and daycare). I am cpr and first aid certified and have no problem helping with light housekeeping such as laundry or light dishes. I am a very tidy person and I have my own vehicle for transportation. I am very outgoing and just love to have fun with the children in my care as they learn and explore the world around them.

Caregiving is in my nature, a tradititional art only to be sharpened. Since being SafeSitter Certified I have been doing this inside my church and community for 7+ years; it only made sense to pick up professionally during University for pocket change. After completing coursework in early childhood development, I began to travel and work as an Au Pair. 7yeats strong and expanding my expertise! <333
