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.

I am a compassionate and creative caregiver who loves helping children learn through real world experiences. This is more than just babysitting for me. I teach kids the basics of gardening, encourage curiosity, responsibility, and connection to nature. Together we practice emotional intelligence skills like communication, empathy, and problem solving through play and everyday moments. I also enjoy involving little ones in healthy meal creation showing them how fun and rewarding it can be to make and consume nutritious foods. Your child will be cared for and immersed in developmentally appropriate curriculum, language studies, emotional intelligence skills, healthy snacks and meals, gardening, and physical fitness. My goal is to create a safe, joyful and enriching environment where every child can grow, explore, and thrive.
