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. Babysitters and nannies have the option to complete regular background checks, and you can easily request a recent background check if they don’t have one or it is not recent.

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’ve loved children ever since I was a little girl. I was always helping my aunts at family gatherings with their children’s needs, even if they weren’t much younger than me. I’ve cared for my younger cousins & brother (now 20yrs). I’ve helped them with their necessities like putting them to sleeping & hygiene. As well as homework help & creating fun educational activities (being a math dork & all). I currently care for a 2 month old full time, helping them with every milestone. I am CPR + First Aid certified, so you can be worry free when your child is with me :) My reviews are on Care.com https://www.care.com/p/diannap648/cc
