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.

Hi! My name is Angelina, and I’ve always had a natural love for caring for children. I grew up in a big family and have spent the past few years babysitting my three younger cousins, ages 2 to 10. These hands-on experiences have given me the skills to handle different age groups with patience, creativity, and care. I enjoy making each day fun and engaging for kids through crafts, music, reading, and active play. I'm also happy to help with cooking, cleaning, bath time, and bedtime routines. I’m CPR trained, a safe and responsible driver, and always prioritize the safety and well-being of the children I care for. I’m organized, dependable, and love creating a clean, happy, and structured environment.

I have two beautiful boys on my own and I love babysitting my nieces and nephews and I also babysit my friends' children. I never think that babysitting is a job, for me it is a wonderful fun time and enjoyable moments and memories, especially for children. I love kids and I never get tired of taking care of them.
