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 have worked as a personal nanny for over 10 years. From infants and toddlers to school aged kids and beyond! If the hours are before 3pm and on a week day, my social 1.5 year old daughter would be tagging along with 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.
