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.

Hello! I recently moved out of New York City leaving my job in childcare (ages prek-8th) of 3 years. Now I am back in school, training to become a Pilates teacher and generally have a flexible schedule. I loved working with the kids, and the emotional reward of impacting their small lives. In addition to my professional experience in childcare, I also have always had young kids in my family to look after. I want to be a mom myself one day, but until then, I will pour my love, nurture, and attention to others. Thank you for your consideration!

I have been working with children for over 18 years. I’m currently working in a preschool center. I believe that keeping a child both physically and mentally is very important specially at a young age. Certified in CPR and First aid, vaccinated, non smoker and English/spanish spoken. I'm currently seeking for a occasional babysitting position, when school is closed (Holidays,Christmas Break etc) date nights or weekends. I also can assist you driving your kids to any activities after school hours. I look forward to hearing from you. Erika

While I do not have any paid childcare experience, I do have 6 siblings, 4 of them being younger than me. I am a certified EMT as well. I would like to be a NICU/PICU nurse in the future, so I believe babysitting will be as valuable of an experience for me as I hope it is for the families I babysit for.
