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.

Hi there! I am a college graduate with a bachelor’s degree in the arts and a master’s degree in library and information science (children’s literature/library emphasis). I love children’s books, drawing, and I have a genuine passion for working with kids! While new to professional childcare in MD, I have years of experience (closing in on 10 years) babysitting my younger siblings (now ages 9, 7, and 4), my baby cousins (aged 2 and 3), as well as paid sitter experience for my former neighbor’s 3 children (then aged 10, 9, and 6). I also have professional experience working with children and toddlers as a library assistant in the Family Engagement/Children’s section of a public library while in graduate school. Most recently, I worked as an elementary school substitute teacher (K-6). I’m excited to bring my sunny spirit and positive attitude to supporting families in Maryland! Please feel free to contact me for references or to set up a call :)
