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.

Hi! I am looking forward to caring for your child/children on a part-time basis. My experience in child care is extensive and includes nannying through college, seven years of working in pediatrics after college as a child life specialist, and more nannying after leaving healthcare while starting my own business. With a now established business I have availability and desire to work and care for children again! They keep me young and I would love them as if they were my own. I don't have children myself, but have the most rewarding role as an aunt. Outside of work I am an active member of a local church body, enjoy spending time with friends and family, and get in a walk or bike any chance I can. A fun fact is that my gluten free sourdough starter is ready for its very first loaf to be made- praying for success and will hopefully let you know how it goes!

I love being with children as they are so enjoyable to be around. I have always liked children and taking care of them. I worked at a daycare for about 4 years with kids from ages starting at a month old to about 12 years old. I have cooked for them as well as dealt with sickness and potty training. Becoming close with the kids and understanding how they are is a big part for me and it is just something that I really enjoy doing.
