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.

I have always enjoyed working with children of all ages. Ever since I was about 10 years old I’ve babysat for friends and family. When I was in high school I went to vocational school for Early Childhood Education for 2 years and worked in a state licensed preschool, working with infants all the way up to 5 year olds. I planned lessons and taught. Through and after high school I worked at a YMCA in childwatch for a couple hours while parents came to work out or take classes, working with children from infant to 10 year olds. I can do in my home or yours. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I love to be an important and reliable person in a young child’s life :) I do not have a license to drive.

I’m passionate about walking alongside families through the earliest and most formative years—from newborn days all the way into school age. I believe in being a steady, familiar presence for children in a world that can feel constantly changing, offering consistency, care, and calm along the way. I grew up as one of eight children on a farm, so I’m very comfortable in busy, lively homes, around animals, and with hands-on, hard work. That upbringing taught me flexibility, patience, and how to thrive in the middle of the beautiful chaos that comes with family life. I’m an EMT, which has strengthened my ability to stay calm under pressure and prioritize safety and awareness in any situation. I bring that same grounded presence into childcare, while still keeping things warm, playful, and child-centered. More than just care, I hope to offer stability, trust, and long-term connection—becoming someone a child can grow up knowing and feeling secure with through each stage of development.
