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.

My name is Ella Slick. I am CPR and first Aid certified, and I am currently a sophomore majoring in nursing at East Carolina University. I love being a sitter/nanny because it's a privilege to watch kids grow up and achieve new milestones with my nurturing help, along with being someone they can trust and someone who will always provide the best care. In my hometown, Charlotte, NC, I work at the YMCA daycare and work with kids aged 2 months to 6 years of age. I also spent this summer nannying a 5-month-old baby boy, and I really enjoyed gaining that experience.
