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 am passionate about working with children, particularly aged five and above. I am currently preparing to start my first-year as an art educator! I have completed my student teaching last year at both an elementary school and high school. Also, in the summers, I am a camp leader at a Summer Camp. I am looking for weekend availability (Saturdays and Sundays) and availability after school hours (Thursday-Friday) to support families in need of childcare and housekeeping. I believe my experience working with children in both academic and artistic settings makes me a great fit for the role! I previously had training in Adult and Pediatric CPR/First Aid/AED provided by the American Red Cross. I am willing to recertify. I also have a Beginner's Educator Certification.

Hi! I’m currently 24 years old and I became babysitter certified at the age of 12 to be able to properly care for my younger cousins/siblings and I’ve been at it ever since. I also took an early childhood learning class in high school. I absolutely adore children and I care for every one as if they were my own. I have experience as a behavioral technician in a clinical setting working with children on the spectrum from ages 2-5. I have experience with infants, toddlers, elementary age & pre-teens. I also have experience with multiples. I love encouraging children to engage in activities that help them learn/grow but I also love bringing them places to relax and have fun or just simply coloring together and listening to music. I also like cooking and what not so meal prep is always on the table if you need it. I always respect parents boundaries/wishes and I adapt to whatever approach they prefer with anything. Most importantly; I will protect your child with my life, scouts honor!
