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’ve been caring for children of all ages since earning my babysitting license at just 12 years old, and I’ve been lucky to build close, lasting relationships with every family I’ve worked with. I’m often told I have a strong maternal instinct and a calm, nurturing presence. I played softball and volleyball through high school before a knee injury, so I’m comfortable supporting kids with sports and active play. As an honor roll student, I’m happy to help with homework and learning routines. I also have experience working with children with severe autism as well as Down syndrome. I’m currently expecting my first child this July, which has only deepened my passion for caring for and supporting children.
