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.

I like babysitting because I love to take care of and help others, and I have found that I work well with children. I love to do creative activities and find myself to be a fun caregiver while also keeping the children under control. I do not have much professional experience; I worked with two children for two years, starting when they were 6 months and 2 years old. I have also spent time babysitting family members. Towards the end of my time with the family, I was helping the youngest with potty training. I am also able to make meals for the children (I am in culinary school), I have a car, and I have tutored students at school, so I could help with homework if needed.
