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.

Hi! my name’s Corlette! I am 22 years old and i go to OSU studying medical anthropology. I’ve worked as a lifeguard since I was 15 which has not only given me lots of experience working with kids but also means I am both CPR and first aid certified. Since college has started back up and I know a lot of grade schools are going online I thought babysitting would be a perfect job for me because I can help the kids with their school work while also working on mine! I am very active and would be happy to take the kids to any sports, activities, or run errands whatever would be convenient for you! I have class each morning at 8am and my last class finishes at 3:40pm M-F. I do have a 5 hour gap between classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays and would be able to provide extra help 9:30am-2pm if needed during that time.

Hey! I'm living in Steamboat this winter and looking to fill some of the free spots in my schedule with some baby sitting gigs. I'm very active and willing to keep up with the energized kiddos. However, I am totally cool with a cold night/day in keeping the little guys entertained indoors. If you need evening sitting or whole days based on my availability we can work something out.

Hi I’m Ms. Trai. I am an instructional assistant for students with multiple disabilities with Columbus City Schools and I am on summer break! So I am free to do what I truly love to do and that is childcare! I went to the University of Akron for Child Psychology for 4 years. I was an infant and toddler lead teacher for a daycare for two years before I opened my own. I had to closed down due to COVID. And that is when I started working in the schools. But the little ones are my heart! I am CPR and First Aid certified. And CPI trained if that matters. Please feel free to call/text me as well for any more questions at 614-632-9595. I look forward to hearing from you!
