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.

Hello! I'm a responsible and passionate caregiver with over 9 years of experience working with children. I worked as a certified nursing assistant in Colombia for 7 years, including 4 years in pediatric hospitalization. In 2021, I moved to the U. S. through a cultural exchange program and cared for a 2-year-old girl for one year. In 2022, I moved to Rochester, NY, and started working as a full-time nanny for a 2-month-old baby. I've continued with the same family, gaining 2 years of consistent newborn experience. I am CPR certified, bilingual (English/Spanish), and very proactive. I love teaching and engaging children in creative and educational activities, often using both languages to support learning. I am committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can thrive. I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your little one(s)!

I feel I’d make an excellent woman to care for & watch over your child(ren)! The experience I have is over 25 years of nurturing & caring for my 4 children in every aspect of their development. I spent many days volunteering in their classrooms during their elementary years. A little bit about myself: I have 2 dogs. I love to walk & play with the both of them. I love to walk period. I live in the country & have a lot of nature to walk in which is so healthy for my body. I practice meditation & yoga. My husband, of 23 years, & I enjoy going to the movies & spending time together at home watching TV & playing Chess & many other board games. As well as walking our dogs together everyday if possible. I spend as much time as possible with my 17yo Son despite his busy life. I love reading. It’s my passion. I have a strong faith which keeps me grounded for what I’m grateful for each & every day. I’m the oldest of 4 children & helped my Mom, in many aspects, raise my 3 siblings, my youngest Sister was autistic. I spend as much time with my family despite them living some distance away. I do have my First Aid & CPR Certification.

Hi! I’m a reliable, energetic, and caring sitter with 8 years of childcare experience. I’ve spent years helping care for younger cousins as well as babysitting for families, and I also worked as a camp counselor for two years, where I supervised and engaged groups of children in activities, games, and daily routines. I have CPR and first aid training, and safety is always my top priority. I pride myself on being patient, responsible, and creating a fun, positive environment where kids feel comfortable and parents feel at ease. I’m great at keeping children engaged through crafts, outdoor activities, homework help, and bedtime routines while maintaining structure and reliability. I’m dependable, organized, and genuinely enjoy working with kids and building strong, trusting relationships with families!
