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.

Hello! I recently moved to New Hampshire from Maine with my boyfriend, who works as a merchant marine. I originally studied elementary education, but upon graduation I began working in child care and discovered my love for early childhood development. I have worked with children since 2022, and have over a year of experience in childcare since graduation. I would consider my area of expertise to be in toddlers, but I have cared for children between the ages of 3 months and 6 years of age. My greatest feedback from current and past superiors is my calm and nurturing nature, and the ability to navigate behaviors through positive guidance and evidence based practices.

My name is sarah, I’ve been babysitting children since I was 14 years old (I am now 19) and have loved doing it. I adore being able to engage with children and have fun with them. I have babysat for a family with 2 kids since I was 14 years old and it has been amazing for me to watch them grow. I took a babysitting class in 2020 which gave me a certificate on first aid and CPR, diaper change ETC- I didn’t add that im qualified in CPR just because it has been so long since I took the course. Thank you!
