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 an energetic person, I love working with kids. I used to work at an elementary school back home in Minnesota where I worked with kids aging anywhere from 3-10 years old, occasionally I worked with special needs. I also have experience babysitting my cousins and friends babies. I love working with kids because I love helping them learn and grow. My favorite thing is seeing kids finally understand something for the first time. I can provide cleaning, meals, pet care, and anything you need around the house. I also can provide errands or anything that needs to be done outside of the house.
