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.

I am a 28 year old Mama of 2. I have a 9 year old son and a 1 year old daughter. I also have a sweet puppy named Jake, a cat named Gibson and a gerbil named Skyla. I have been caring for children through the years since I was 7 in my Moms daycare. I grew up learning all the ropes then started babysitting on my own at 12. I have kept all ages from newborn to 6 years (plus my 9 year old) I am well versed in infant, child and adult CPR, swim safety and all things fun :) I have my own transportation as well as an extra car seat for both rear, forward and booster seated children. I’m always happy to help with housework, meals and laundry if need be.
