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! I'm Camille! I'm from a small college town so I've had babysitting opportunities at hand for as long as I can remember. To me, being a babysitter/nanny and spending time around kids is not just a job for me. What truly sets me apart as a sitter is my genuine love for spending time with children and creating meaningful experiences with them. I believe in creating a supportive environment where children can feel safe, valued, and encouraged to explore their interests and talents. I also like to be involved whether it's engaging in imaginative play, reading stories, or going on outdoor adventures. I also love knowing that I can contribute to the well-being and happiness of children, while also experiencing the joy and love they bring into my life. I enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with both parents and children alike, and I am committed to providing exceptional care that exceeds your expectations.

Hi! My name is Killian, I’m a 22 year old with a genuine passion for caring for kids. I worked at a daycare center for 3 years, but even before that have always been babysitting younger family. I’m super patient, actually enjoy building connections with littles, and am comfortable with ages ranging from 6 months to 5 years old. I’m CPR and first aid certified. I believe my only down is that I don’t have a car. As of right now my main transportation is my bike, but I am totally flexible and willing to take kids out on walks if you wanted to get your kids outside socially. Apart from caring, I’ve got skills in cooking, cleaning and teaching. I’m super passionate about what I do and I can’t wait to talk to you!

Hello! My name is Juliana. I am 19 years old. Throughout my life I have been babysitting my little cousins and my friend’s siblings. I have always had a passion for taking care of people, especially children. My passion stems from the things I have had to go through. Sadly, I lost my mom when I was 5 y/o. Instead of focusing on the past, I put energy into positive things that make a change. Helping others helps myself, and changes things to be easier for everyone!
