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! 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!

I have over 10 years experience working with children. I am currently a nanny for an 18 month old. was a Nanny for over 2 years in New York and also a Preschool Teacher for 2 years. I have taken Educational Theater courses. I believe Theater helps a child's development and also helps build confidence. I worked in IT from 2017-2021. I missed working with children. It is a joy to watch them grow and develop, something you aren't able to see in the Corporate World. I have a Bachelors in English Language Arts from Cuny Hunter College. I also have several courses that I took towards my Masters in Educational Theater at Cuny City College. I am originally from New York. Please feel free to ask any questions!
