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.

When I was younger I was expected to raise my siblings, ever since then I've always wanted to help kids. I used to watch the daughter of group home workers, I watched her from when she was 8 months to 3 years old, and I loved every second of that job. I have learned cpr, but am no longer certified. I helped assistant teach kindergarten during my senior year. I'm looking for a job that will help me and someone else, I cant have kids, but have always loved them.

I have been a toddler teacher for the last year and am wanting to start sitting/teaching young children on my own. I am CPR and first aid certified along with having many certifications for trainings such as child abuse, communicable diseases, child development, etc. I grew up with 10 siblings (I know. That’s a lot.) and have been babysitting my siblings and family members since 13 years old. I am most comfortable working with children between the age of 1-5 but am very capable of any age. Please reach out to me if you have any questions!

I have always enjoyed working with children of all ages. Ever since I was about 10 years old I’ve babysat for friends and family. When I was in high school I went to vocational school for Early Childhood Education for 2 years and worked in a state licensed preschool, working with infants all the way up to 5 year olds. I planned lessons and taught. Through and after high school I worked at a YMCA in childwatch for a couple hours while parents came to work out or take classes, working with children from infant to 10 year olds. I can do in my home or yours. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I love to be an important and reliable person in a young child’s life :) I do not have a license to drive.

Being the oldest six children, I have experience working with all ages. At the age of 22, I would love to be able to spend more time with the little ones. I especially find myself drawn to infants in the beauty of new life. People describe me as a baby naturalist. I enjoy being in a home setting, and caring for those inside of it. I would be more than willing to help with meal prep. also other light housekeeping, laundry, cleaning and etc.
