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.

I grew up helping my grandma watch her daycare kids. I started watching my younger brothers and younger cousins when I was very young myself, I would watch them all during summer breaks, plus evenings or weekends when my family needed a break. I had my first real(non family related) babysitting job at age 11. I nannyed for 7 years then In 2020 I started childcare out of my home. I'm now searching for a nanny job again! I have experience with multiple children at a time. I took early childhood development courses in HS where I learned about developmental milestones from birth to age 5. I can provide you with multiple great references. I am a non smoker who is infant/child CPR and first aid certified with a clean background. I love to teach ASL to the kids! I love to interact, play, teach, and stay active with the kiddos. I love pets! The most important part about being a sitter/nanny to me is making sure the kids are safe, happy, and cared for while in my presence
