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 have worked with children most of my life. I was a preschool teacher as well as professional nanny before becoming a mom. For the last 12 years I have been a SAHM. I homeschool my 12 year old daughter as well. I have a five year daughter that may need to accompany me. I believe children are a gift and treat every child as if they are my own.

Hi Sitter City Clients, My name is Sarah B, I grew up in a small town in New Jersey, and recently relocated to Leland, North Carolina! I resigned my position as a 911- Emergency Dispatcher in NJ, as my lease was coming to an end and wanted to be closer by my parents in NC. Starting from a young age, not only did I always have a love for children, but I also discovered my calling and passion to work with children. I made it a point throughout my working years to intertwine my passion. At the age of 13, I volunteered at my church providing childcare services for a few years. In that time, it opened many doors which allowed me to care for several families over the years. I also volunteered for children's org. such as JLBC, SRT and global mission's trips. I am a responsible, respectful, available, punctual, nurturing, cool headed, go getter individual. I love all things nature and creating off screen activities to help assist with developmental milestones. It would be the greatest privilege and honor to work for your family.
