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.

Q: How does a child care provider interact with my child?

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

Hello! My name is Hannah and I'm 21 years old. I'm a calm, patient, sweet, caring, fun, and loving nanny and I absolutely adore children. I also have a 6 yr old sister who I've helped raise with my single mother. Ever since I started caring my little sister, I developed a passion for caring for children. I always went back to babysitting because it's what makes me the happiest! I took a Child and Parenting class at my high school when I attended. I was a nanny for three children (2 months, 2 1/2 yrs, and 3 1/2 yrs) when I first started babysitting them for 9 months. My last nanny job was for a 1 year old who I watched part time and was a live in nanny. I started nannying him when he was 3 months old up until 1 year. With my work experience as a nanny, I would love to continue caring for children!
