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. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

I am a single parent of the most well behaved 18 yr daughter. I enjoy watching her grow and being involved with her activities. I am a former lifeguard that enjoys swimming and all outdoor activities. Trips to zoos and parks make for great memories.

Hi there! I’m a 32 year old mom to two amazing little boys (ages 4 and 5), so I definitely understand the beautiful chaos of childhood! I have years of hands-on experience with babies, toddlers, and older kids too. I truly love building genuine connections with each child I care for. I’m basically a professional diaper changer, snack chef, and nose-wiper with expert-level skills in being silly, patient, and fun! I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I also keep anti-choking devices at home for extra peace of mind. I have a playground in my backyard with rubber playground safety surfacing too! When I’m not chasing my boys around, I’m working toward my degree in Human Resources (graduating next June!). I take pride in creating a safe, happy, and loving environment where kids can laugh, learn, and feel cared for, just like family.

Wages are negotiable. I am willing to work with you when it comes to fees. It is about ensuring that your children are in safe hands when you cannot be there. I am married to a man in the U. S. Navy and I am attending college for a B.A. in secondary social studies education. I currently have an A.S. in Social Sciences/education. I have happy and healthy dogs, but no children of my own yet. I've been a babysitter since 2010. They were all between the ages of 1 month and 14 years, both girls and boys. I have owned and worked with many animals. Pet care is free with child care. I can cook and I have my own car. Cleaning up after myself and the kids will not be an issue. I also have no problem picking up kids from school or taking them wherever they need to go. I love playing games and am always interested in what your child wants to do. I will always put their needs before anything else while they are in my care. I love the outdoors and influencing kids to learn or experience new things. I understand being social and a great role model is very important for your or any child's development and I look forward to being a positive influence in their lives if you consider me for a child's caregiver. I love kids and I am equipped to take care of all. I am first aid/CPR/AED certification for adults and pediatrics. I look forward to hearing from you. I Appreciate you taking the time to read through this. Let me know if you have any questions.
