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.

As a mom and a NICU nurse, caring for others is part of who I am. Motherhood taught me patience, strength, and unconditional love, while my work in the NICU has shown me the power of compassion and calm in the toughest moments. I’ve always loved babysitting because it gives me the chance to help kids learn, grow, and have fun. Whether I’m reading stories, playing games, or helping with homework, I enjoy creating a safe and positive environment where kids feel happy and supported. Being trusted by families means a lot to me, and I take pride in being patient, responsible, and caring.

Hi! I have worked at the Town of Apex with groups of children aged from 5 to 11 for the past two years, and I love making connections with them. Through this job, I have experience in taking kids on field trips, setting up crafts, playing games, etc. Personally, I grew up in a family where hands-on activities were common, and limiting screen time was my mother's pastime. My parents also owned two drop-in child care centers where I spent time helping out the counselors as a tween. Now that I am finishing up my Associate's in Arts at Wake Tech, I am looking to be able to spend more one-on-one time with children than my current job allows. I enjoy cooking and helping around the house, and honestly, just want to be a friend to your kid. A little fun fact about me is that I have two cats and two dogs, and a twin brother myself! So my house is pretty packed full of energy!
