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.

Hi, I’m Siena! I’d describe myself as caring, fun, and empathetic. Working with children has always come naturally to me, and I truly love being part of their growth. There’s something so special about watching kids learn, change, and discover the world around them. Seeing their excitement over new milestones or simple everyday moments is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. I started caring for children when I was younger by helping with my relatives’ kids and my nephew, and that early experience really shaped my love for childcare. For the past two years, I’ve been working at a childcare center with children of all ages, which has helped me grow confident in supporting different personalities and developmental stages. I’m also currently in college working toward my bachelor’s degree. I’m looking for a full-time position starting in June and would love to find a family where we’re a great fit for each other. For long-term roles, I prefer to be paid through a payroll service. I’m excited to build a strong connection with a family and be someone their children feel safe, supported, and happy around

Hi! I’m a mom of three amazing kiddos with over 10 years of experience working in childcare and 5–6 years of babysitting experience. I’ve also studied Early Childhood Education, which has given me a strong foundation in child development, safety, and age appropriate learning through play. My husband and I are located in Boardman, and I truly love caring for children and supporting families however I can. I’m dependable, nurturing, and treat every child as if they were my own.

I’m a 19 (soon to be 20) year old girl who absolutely adores kids! I grew up with a large family surrounded by little ones at all times and it really gave me a passion for taking care of them. I also have some professional experience having worked at a preschool/daycare for several months. I tend to come off as very shy but i’m definitely a more relaxed and laid back person. Despite the shyness, kids seem to warm up to me very quickly and always seem to like me! I have a pretty open schedule except Mondays and Wednesdays from 10:00a.m-1:00p.m and have my own transportation. Some more things you should know are that I don’t smoke, and I am CPR,AED, and first aid certified.
