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.

Hey!! I'm Mackenzye, I'm 21 and I have been babysitting since I was 9. I know some of you are probably wondering "Who let a 9 year old babysit?", it was my baby brother and my 6 year old sister at the time. I've been babysitting ever since. Most recently I have babysat 2 year old twins. I have 5 siblings so I'm pretty good in chaotic environments with multiple kids. Since I started babysitting so young I feel like I have a unique perspective. I feel like I can also relate to the kids pretty well. I graduated high school a few years and during my last year I helped out in a 4th grade classroom so I got to know what kids are into these days. I’ve also worked as a bus aide and a kindergarten teachers aide.
