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.

My name is Victoria, everyone calls me Tori. I’m 30 years old. I have 4 kids. I use to work in a daycare but I came home because afterschool care can be outrageous for 4 kids. All my kids are in school so I figured it would be easier to babysit someone else who needs help. I have my credentials to work in a daycare and I’ve also been cpr certified! I love kids and their little creative minds!

I love being a sitter because taking care of others just comes naturally to me. Whether it’s keeping kids entertained, helping with routines, or making sure pets feel happy and loved, I enjoy being someone families can count on. It makes me feel good knowing I can bring comfort, fun, and peace of mind. I’ve had experience working with children and pets in different settings, and I’ve also worked in roles where responsibility and patience were really important. From helping families as a nanny and sitter to handling busy days in customer service, I’ve learned how to stay calm, flexible, and caring in any situation. Some of my skills include keeping things organized, managing routines, and coming up with activities that keep kids engaged. I’m also great at problem-solving and making sure everyone feels safe and cared for. Most importantly, I bring kindness, reliability, and a genuine love for what I do.✨

My caregiver experience started at a very young age with family, friends and so on. Task I would take on would be things like cooking, cleaning and entertaining. I love meal planning and preparing for others and it’s another one of my passions. I’ll be enrolling in university in spring for Psychology as I do wish to be a teacher and spread the joy of learning and love with young ones.
