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.

Starting last summer, I was a camp counselor for kids through the ages 4-13. I didn’t expect to love it as much as I did because I was solely recommended for the job and didn’t really have any experience beforehand. But realizing that doing the smallest things for kids could possibly mean the world I knew I wanted to continue but being a full time student, it isn’t easy but I’d still love to try.

Hi! My name is Qua’Naysha, and I truly enjoy working with children and helping families feel supported.

In addition to hands-on experience, I have a background in psychology and criminal justice, which helps me understand behavior, responsibility, and safety. I’m CPR-certified and comfortable with homework help, meal prep, and bedtime routines. My goal is always to provide dependable care and peace of mind for every family I work with.
