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, I’m Carrington! I was a previous classroom teacher for four years. During that time, I taught first and third graders. One of the many skills that I have learned as a teacher is how to pivot on a dime while remaining calm. I enjoy reading, working out, walking my dog at the park, and binge watching Netflix shows. Let’s connect! A little more about my education… *B.S in Interdisciplinary Studies with a minor in Elementary Education from Virginia State University *M.S in Mental Health Counseling with a Clinical Counseling concentration from North Carolina A&T State University *Current NC k-6 Teaching License

Hi there! I’m Grace — a caring, patient, and energetic babysitter with hands-on experience as an au pair in Germany 2023-2024, where I cared for four wonderful kids (a newborn, 1-year-old, 3-year-old, and 5-year-old). That time taught me how to juggle bottles, nap times, playdates, and endless giggles all at once! I love creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where kids can be themselves — whether that means building forts, doing crafts, exploring outside, or reading together. I’m great at staying calm under pressure, adapting to each child’s unique needs, and bringing a positive, upbeat energy to every day. If you’re looking for someone who’s dependable, compassionate, and genuinely loves being around kids — I’d be thrilled to help your family out!

I will be mostly available in the mornings and any time on the weekend. I have my own car, so I will be able to offer transportation or run errands. I also have a lot of experience with household chores and would be glad to help out. Feel free to reach out!
