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.

Since I was 12 years old I have absolutely loved spending time with children and have been an avid babysitter. Coming from a family of 3 older sisters, I would regularly accompany them to their babysitting jobs and gained experience from a very young age. I've cared for children as little as months old to middle schoolers and find such joy in seeing children develop at different stages in their life. I love to be outside and play and always encourage the kids to do so. Additionally, I am CPR certified and would be happy to play with your children by the pool/beach.

I have been working with kiddos/infants since I was a freshman in High School. I love being active with children, teaching new skills, and finding ways to enrich their lives in the ways that I can. I live in Holland/Zeeland and am able to commute up to 20 miles, depending on the home location. I would love to cover date nights, weekday afternoons or whatever your needs may be. I am also looking for a few consistent days each week to be fully available.
