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.

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them.

Why I Love Being a Sitter: I’ve always loved spending time with kids — their creativity, curiosity, and energy make every day exciting. I enjoy being someone children can trust, have fun with, and feel comfortable around. Babysitting lets me help families while making sure kids are safe, happy, and engaged, whether we’re playing games, reading, or working on a fun craft together. My Experience: I have over five years of experience caring for children of different ages. I’ve babysat many of my little cousins, spent time playing and helping with my neighbors’ kids, and developed a strong sense of patience and understanding through those experiences. I’m comfortable handling bedtime routines, snacks or meals, and keeping kids entertained with creative and active play.
