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.

I am a college student at SUNY Brockport majoring in nursing; I am looking to make money but also enjoy working and helping with little minds. I have helped work at a summer camp for the past few years with kids that range from 5 to 12 years old, so I do have experience watching over kids within that age group.

I am a compassionate, reliable, and highly experienced caregiver with nearly two decades of hands-on work supporting children, families, and individuals with complex medical and emotional needs. With a background in pediatric care, neonatal night-nannying, autism support, and childhood PTSD, I bring a calm, trauma-informed, and nurturing approach to every household. My experience includes sleep training, establishing healthy routines, assisting with learning and developmental needs, and providing a structured but warm environment where children feel safe and supported. I am currently pursuing my RN, and my extensive medical and home-health background allows me to confidently manage medications, monitor safety, and respond appropriately in any situation. I truly love helping children grow, explore, and thrive, and I approach nannying not just as a job but as a meaningful partnership with families built on trust, stability, and care. I am looking forward to speaking with you! My number is 7744586011 and my other number is 5858809271. I'd need to stay in a live in situation or have time to find a room for rent in NYC because I am wanting to move from Upstate NY.

I have always been the one in the family that is asked to watch their children. I have also worked at the after school program we had for the younger kids. I was looking after kids ages 1-10 and had many responsibilities. I helped with homework, played games, and was there when they needed someone. To this day that was my favorite job and it always brings me happiness. I’m currently a college student looking for a family to connect with and be someone you can rely on. If there are any questions on my experiences feel free to ask, I wasn’t too sure what to put on here.
