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.

Hi friends! My name is Boston, Im a college student majoring in Early Education and minoring in Special Education living in the Niagara Falls area. During High school I took a 2 year Montessori course and graduated with my certification in Montessori! During my time in high school my class frequently visited our local daycare which I then went on to work for in 2023. My favorite part about working at the daycare was creating a safe space for the children. I love to inspire and motivate children to use their creative minds and give them a fun-loving environment. Im always up for creating a new craft or game!

I was born and raised in the early education field. My mom has owned a daycare for my whole life. I was raised in the daycare and started helping out/working at the first chance I had. I am passionate about working with children and highly value education. I enjoy working with children and take pride in watching them grow and learn. I value the importance of a safe, positive and nurturing environment. I am excited for the opportunity to work one on one with a child/children and build strong and meaningful relationships with them. I find it extremely rewarding to contribute to their development in any way appropriate! Whether it's through education, play or just being a supportive and positive presence in their lives. I have a love for education, outdoors, traveling, exercising and for simply living a happy and healthy lifestyle. I believe a positive and peaceful attitude is contagious and would love to work with a family that believes in the same vibe.
