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 families! I love and have experience caring for children of all ages. On weekdays, I’m actually a teacher for ages 6 weeks through 3 years old (mixed age classroom). I’m out of work by 3:30. As a babysitter, I’m very flexible and pay attention to the needs of each child. I’m also very pet friendly. I like to be active with the kids, if that’s what they like or need. I also like to really interact and play with them, if they want to include me in their play :) I love to read books to children, and I have a good mind for child safety. The early education centers I’ve worked in have been some of the best, and are very on top of their child development (& also health and safety) related trainings. Please reach out if you have any questions, and thank you for considering me!

I love being a sitter because I am an excellent mother to my 3 children & i grew up raising younger siblings while my.mother worked back to back jobs just to provide for us so really ever sense I was 10 I have experience & now im 28 years old and I enjoyed every bit of raising my siblings and now raising my children . My children are my world and I just would want someone to treat them like I do when they are being babysat or at day care even school because they are innocent and all they wanna do is be a kid & there's nothing wrong with that , its a wonderful , heartfelt experience if you have kids or are a baby sitter to kids .
