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.

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them.

I am 35 years old and have over 20 years of childcare experience with children from newborns to preteens. I am a stay-at-home mom with 3 daughters and a son. My oldest is in 5th grade, my middle is 5, my son is 3 and I have a 1 year old daughter, so they will be with me while I care for your children. I am currently only able to care for children in my home. I grew up in a very large family, and have been around many children all my life. I love taking care of children, and I believe that no job is more challenging, or more rewarding. As a mom, I know how difficult it can be to leave your children. We are a Christian family. We believe in God, we love Jesus and we try to live for Him. Your children will not be preached to about our beliefs, and we will respect yours. But your children may witness our faith as we say grace before meals and live in faith in our daily lives. I hope you will consider giving me the opportunity to provide care you can trust for your precious children.
