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 love being a sitter because I get to spend time with kids and help them be able to learn as well as have some fun and laughter! I am almost done with nursing school.

I enjoy being a sitter because of the variety of families that need the help and the environment changes when I change as well! I've had experiences taking care of children because I myself have 4 younger siblings so that helps with the experience but I love being around children It's the best thing in the world. All children are a bundle of joy and fun so if anything I hope I can be of help to people and take some of the pressure off of you as a parent.

I'm a current college student majoring in Human Development and Family Studies, with 2 years of childcare experience. I currently work a part-time evening job in childcare for a church, so I have experience working with multiple kids at once. I will be receiving my CPR and First-Aid training soon and I'm currently skilled in cooking/meal-prep, diaper changes, and housekeeping. I enjoy working with children and hope to provide them a safe, but exciting environment where they can learn and grow. I am able to drive far distances, and have open availability.
