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.

My name is Elizabeth and I have experience working with children in different capacities. I originally went to college and studied education and through my time as an ED major I worked with high school kids. Most recently, I worked as a registered behavior technician and worked with children with autism spectrum disorder. I worked with toddlers and elementary school children. As the oldest of 4 children, I have experience babysitting not just my siblings, but family members and neighbors. I would love to work with the right family and hope to make an impact not just on the lives of children, but on the family as well!

Hi there!! My name is Taylor, and I’m a senior at Wingate University studying Marketing! ✨ I absolutely love being involved on campus—it’s taught me how to work well with others and stay organized. Beyond school, one of my favorite things is being part of a child’s journey as they grow up! 💕 I’ve gained several years of experience caring for little ones by watching my younger sibling, family members, and family friends’ children, and it has been such a rewarding experience. I can’t wait to bring that same energy and care to your family!
