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.

Hello I’m Faith! I have been teaching for seven years now (but I have experience way beyond that as I have a 14-year-old and 10-year-old myself). I currently hold both an Associates Degree and a Bachelors Degree in early childhood development and love working with children! I enjoy anything nature related, cooking, and homesteading with children, as well as getting them off of screens as much as possible. I have worked in a vast majority of schools from headstarts to Reggio based nature preschools, as well as currently licensed as a substitute teacher with children aged 5-18, so my experience is everywhere. Currently I am only looking for part time work. I look forward to speaking to and getting to know you!
