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.

The past two years I worked for a daycare during college breaks and I loved it! I have three nieces as well, age ranged from 1-10 years old, and I love being able to teach and engage in creative activities with them. I am currently in nursing school and have an interest in going into NICU, labor and delivery, or pediatrics. I am CPR certified and I have experience working in housekeeping. I would love to have the opportunity to continue working with children to help aid in their development.

If you want a warm body to take up space keep scrolling. If you desire an experienced, engaged, energetic & resourceful sitter then message me. Im old school so I believe in the power of play, crafts, reading & going outside. If you’re comfortable I’m more than willing to take the kids to the library, story time, the park-wherever you choose. Im also a baby whisperer ☺️While I can’t replace you, I will do my best to give all the love, care, warmth & wisdom in which ever way you choose. I realize we all have different beliefs, backgrounds & sometimes values may vary but loving our kids is a common bond & instinct we can all identify with. It takes a village & Id be honored to be a part of yours as long as the respect is mutual. I have extensive experience with watching children as Ive been a Mom for 18 years & a sitter since a pre-teen then I moved on to caring for multiple infants in a now defunct daycare while caring for my Grandmother with Dementia. Moving on from daycare I work now as a Special Education 1 on 1/Paraprofessional. My son is neurodivergent so between my career & my son Im skilled in ABA, 504’s & IEP’s & implementing them. I have a special place in my heart for infants because I feel for the Moms who have to leave them & they need extra TLC. I adore kids of all ages & have experience with ADHD, Autism & Sensory Processing Disorder as well. I lead with empathy, compassion & communication. Ask me anything!
