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.

Hi! With years of helping out with my little cousins (now 8-10 years old) since they were toddlers, I have earned a strong reputation in my family for being a great babysitter! I always come prepared with creative activities, arts, crafts, etc... as an artist myself it's a valuable experience to be able to teach kids how to think outside the box and learn to express themselves. When I was very young, I got certified for basic childcare through a babysitting program through my local YMCA. I have a lot of experience being responsible for and entertaining an Italian family's worth of young kids, and I'd love to help out! :-)

My name is Haley, and I am currently studying Nursing in college, where I’m building a strong foundation in health, safety, and compassionate care. My interest in nursing naturally grew from my love of working with children, which is why I’ve spent the past 3 years babysitting toddlers and young children. I love being a sitter because caring for kids brings me a sense of purpose and joy. I enjoy supporting their growth, creating a safe and fun environment, and helping them explore the world with curiosity. I have CPR and First Aid certifications. I'm skilled in meal prep, playful activities, bedtime routines, and I also have my own car. I’ve worked with toddlers and young school-age children, both for occasional sitting and regular weekly care. Through these experiences, I’ve become patient, reliable, and confident in handling different personalities and needs.
