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.

I have a degree in Early Education and 19 years classroom teaching experience with children from infancy to 5th grade. My teaching experience required in-depth background screening and within the last year, I have been throughly background checked and medically screened in order to do childcare thru a governmental program. Same program required me to renew my CPR and First Aid training and I have also had MAT training. Additionally, I raised one child of my own, who is an educated, very successful adult. For the last 7 years I have been a Nanny to children ranging from infancy to 9 years old. The children and I enjoy hands-on learning while doing outdoor exploration and thru indoor things like art projects and food experiences. I have references and I am available for an interview.

Hi! My name is Athena, and I’m 18 years old and just getting started in life. In the long run, I would love to work with children and pursue a career in social work. For now, I’m focused on building my experience and learning as much as I can. I’ve always been the babysitter of my family, including caring for my nonverbal little brother. Those experiences have taught me to be patient, responsible, attentive, and understanding of every child’s individual needs. I’m very determined, responsible, and focused when it comes to making sure children are safe, comfortable, and having fun. I’d love the opportunity to gain more experience while providing families with someone they can trust to care for their children.
