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.

Since I was 15yrs old I've helped raised my baby sister. When she was born I had to grow up fast and switch over from sitting at home and watching ABC family to learning how to properly heat up a bottle. Since then I've changed from this and loved the experience. I helped raise her from taking her out to the park, giving her baths, and even watching her from weeknights to weekends. On other occasions I've watched many of my nephews and nieces while my sister was in my presence. I feel that I often grow a bound with children since I tend to make them feel comfortable by getting know them on a everyday level.
