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. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

Having an older sister who nannied, as a kid I would beg to go along, knowing it was what I wanted to do when I grew up. She saw my love for it, and took to teaching me the ropes. As a preteen, I began taking on small jobs for family and friends, quickly earning my own reputation for enthusiastic and trustworthy care. In my later teens, I began taking on professional nannying jobs. I have experience with babies as young as 6 weeks up to children age 6+. I'm CPR + First Aid certified, and can offer glowing references. I'm here to do what has always brought me joy - helping bring it to your family.
