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. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

I love children I started babysitting my siblings children because I never had kids when I was married some years ago. Children are a blessing and very sweet and adorable! I have did some babysitting through the agency and gained a lot of experience taking care of them in the homes. I had to potted trained feed baby food and regular soft foods to them. Sometimes I would help these children with their homework bathe and dress and groom their hair play simple games with them. I perform other tasks like changing briefs when necessary read children books to them. Warm their baby bottles before giving to them. Rock the babies or small children to sleep by singing beautiful songs to calm them. I also worked at a daycare center some years ago working with children.
