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 recently graduated college with my Bachelor of Science in South Carolina, but I am looking to work with kids until I finishing my nursing degree that I am now pursuing. I am patient, hardworking, responsible, fun, caring, and trustworthy. I have a reliable car in case of emergency or transportation needs. I love the outdoors, playing soccer, spending time with friends and family, cooking, cleaning, picking up new hobbies, etc. I have always loved babysitting and have 7 years of paid experience. Some of my recent experience includes working at a daycare program, teaching preschool, and nannying a 4 month old. I would love to help out as little or as much as needed. I like to be hands on when I babysit and spend meaningful time when a child is in my care. I would love to get in touch and answer any further questions!
