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 Christina, and childcare has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started babysitting at just 10 years old and quickly became the “family babysitter” for all of my cousins, nieces, nephews, and family friends. Over the years, I’ve cared for so many children that I’ve honestly lost count! I also helped my sister raise my nephew, giving me hands-on experience with everything from infant care to supporting kids through different stages of growth. I genuinely love kids and have a natural ability to connect with them, keep them engaged, and create a safe, comforting environment. I’ve been CPR and First Aid certified multiple times in the past, and while my certification isn’t currently up to date, I’m familiar with safety procedures. I also attended nursing school in college and completed all but one year before I had to step away, which provided me with valuable medical and developmental knowledge that I apply in childcare. I’m patient, responsible, and passionate about helping children feel supported and cared for. I’d love the opportunity to be a reliable, positive presence for your family.

I am a stay at home mom to a beautiful 15 month old girl. She loves other children so childcare has been a great way for me to make money and still be able to care for her. My home is set up both outside and inside for safe play so I can watch children at my house or yours. While it is expired now I have taken cpr classes and have experience with children of all ages. I can of course provide excellent references upon request.
