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.

I’m a psychology major and I hope to become a speech therapist one day. I love being a sitter because I enjoy spending time with kids and helping them feel happy, and cared for. Babysitting also gives me great experience working with children and learning how they grow and communicate. I’ve babysat for close friends and family, mostly with toddlers and preschoolers. I’ve helped with meals, playtime, and naps, I am patient, responsible, and fun. I enjoy being someone that both kids and parents can rely on.

I have a high school diploma, I interned in a preschool (ages 3-5 years old) in my high school for two years before graduating. I’ve always enjoyed babysitting for family members. I also enjoy caring for pets, I have a few pets of my own. I’ve always wanted to pursue a career tending for children or pets. I am a smoker, but I am not comfortable smoking around others children or being around others children smelling of smoke. My car is currently in a auto shop being fixed but I have a dependable ride to and from places.

My name is Victoria, everyone calls me Tori. I’m 30 years old. I have 4 kids. I use to work in a daycare but I came home because afterschool care can be outrageous for 4 kids. All my kids are in school so I figured it would be easier to babysit someone else who needs help. I have my credentials to work in a daycare and I’ve also been cpr certified! I love kids and their little creative minds!
