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.

Q: How does a child care provider interact with my child?

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

Hi, I am a recent undergrad student from Hamilton College. I have always had a natural role as a caregiver being the oldest daughter in my family. From helping care for my siblings as infants to now looking after four kids regularly, I have built years of hands-on experience with children of different ages. I love babysitting because I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids can play, learn, and feel cared for. In addition to my experience, I’m skilled at multitasking, problem-solving, and keeping kids engaged with activities that fit their interests.

I’ve always loved working with kids and taking care of people and animals in need, it’s something that feels rewarding to me. Back in high school, I babysat for three different families from the U.S. embassy when I lived in Riyadh’s diplomatic quarter and attended the American International School. I’m super patient, value-driven, and love creating a positive, caring environment for kids also including educational activities. I’m looking for a part-time babysitting position where I can care for one or two kids so I can truly give them my full attention.
