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.

I am an auntie, an educator, and a caretaker! I am an aunt to 17 —yes, 17 —nieces and nephews ranging from 1-year-old to 17 years old. I've been an aunt since I was 10, so I've always been around little ones and I love it! I love watching them succeed, share in their joy, and help carry the burden of sorrows. Plus, getting to watch little people grow into who they'll be as adults is just an awesome experience. During the school year, I am a special education paraprofessional who works with kiddos on the autism spectrum along with other learning disabilities. I am CPI, CPR, and First Aid certified.

I'm passionate about helping little ones grow and develop, which led me to become a childcare provider.

Hi! My name is Gabriela. I started babysitting when I was in 8th grade for my mom’s friend, and watched her two kids who I believe were 9 and 11 at the time. We’d play outside and indoor games, ride bikes, etc. I also watched my friend’s kids, one as a baby and she’s two now, and the other who’s 12. I don’t mind helping with homework 🙂
