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.

When you start sitting from a young age, you learn a few things down the road. 8 years later, I've learned that what I love about sitting is the bond created with the families I've sat for. Not to mention, watching the children grow into beautiful, smart, and gifted human beings. It is truly a privilege to be entrusted with the opportunity to support the development and success of the child/children in my care. I have worked with children ages two to as old as sixteen. I love to create less screen time activities! Allowing children to grow in their own creativity. I am currently working on getting my CPR/First Aid license renewed. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. We can discuss availability together!

Hi! My name is Sami and I am a fun, reliable and energetic babysitter with approximately 7 years experience babysitting toddlers - teenagers. Throughout my four years of high school and college, aside from helping raise my two younger brothers (now ages 7 and 9), I babysat for numerous families during both weekdays and weekends. While babysitting (it was always different with each family) I would be responsible for driving the kids to play dates/after school activities, taking care of family pets (mostly dogs and cats), helping with homework, light housework such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, running errands, etc. - I am very willing to help around the house! Throughout my four Summers during college, I became a camp counselor for children between the ages of 7-14 while babysitting on the weekends. Since graduating from college in 2017, I have been working as a personal assistant for executives in the entertainment industry and babysitting on the weekends. Babysitting is my favorite job, and I have loved taking care of children since I was 16! I am also very willing to babysit on weeknights as well as some weekdays (:

Hi! My name is Kyla and I am currently a student at New Paltz University. My major is adolescent education with a concentration in Math. I currently work at C&C unisex hair salon in Kingston as a receptionist. I am looking for a part time nannying/babysitting job near Saugerties. I love spending time with kids (especially teaching them)! I am outgoing and energetic, and I am also willing to do some housework/cooking meals along with watching your children. I am CPR and AED certified along with wilderness first aid certified. I have a youth mental health first aid certification. I don’t have a set price so I am flexible with what you feel comfortable paying. Although I am new I have always been surrounded by children, whether it be at work while their parent gets a haircut, or helping my neighbors getting their children off the bus from school. I can give references out personally if you think we would be a good fit together and want to work together! :)
