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.

Hello! I am 19 years old and looking to get into childcare on my days off! I love children and caring for them. I am flexible to all ages and love to plan fun activities to do during the day instead of all day electronic time. i love cooking and preparing meals as well! I was caring for my 6 year old cousin 7:30am-5:45pm for a few years as well as far as experience goes. I have also been a teachers aid in a kindergarten classroom! I have been backround checked and fingerprinted as well from working for the school district. I love little ones and giving them great experiences! I am also not opposed to taking any courses encouraged by parents such as the babysitting course, first aid courses etc. I did have CPR training in school and know how to perform it, but not certified. My other job is 6am-11am so later shifts work better for me!

Babysitting for my aunt's four kids has been one of the most rewarding experiences of the past three years. The oldest is nine, and I've been there through it all, from school runs to bedtime stories. Taking care of them, even when they're sick, feels natural to me. I've learned so much about responsibility and patience, and I genuinely love being a part of their lives.

I am a big sister to my 10 year old sister. My parents used the “built-in-babysitter” as much as they could. They were lucky that I love kids because I had the greatest time with her everyday. I am the one the family passes all the little cousins to, and I use the most of my creativity when I’m with them. I love crafts and finding ways to pass time.
