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.

I'd describe my personality as bubbly, compassionate, and attentive. I like working with kids because it's been my passion for as long as I can remember, always having seen myself working in the childcare field in some way. I started working with kids around the age of 17, working in childcare facilities and assisting with all ages from infants to school-agers. In my spare time, I like to listen to music, read, and work on new hobbies. My skills include multitasking while maintaining attention to detail, collaborating with others, communication, and organization. While working in the childcare settings, I have gotten my CPR/First Aid Training.

Hello my name is Charity and I’m 19 years old. I am the oldest of 6 children. My grandmother used to own an at-home daycare which I was working at for 5 years. I have a lot of experience working with infants, toddlers, preschool, and even high schoolers. I now work at a daycare as a teacher and am working with ages 1-4 years old. I am also CPR certified. I truly love and adore working with kids, and I approach each and every one of them as an individual who I get to help grow and teach.
