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 have watched many different age groups thanks to having worked in a daycare center for six years. When I began I was part-time and went to all the different rooms, so I worked with all the children from the infants to the school-agers (in the summer). I eventually decided to work there full-time as a toddler teacher in the potty-training room because I loved being around the kids so much. Sadly, that daycare center in Columbus ended up closing. I moved back home to Newark, OH to be closer to my family. I do not have any children of my own but I enjoy the time I do get to spend with my four nieces and my nephew. In 2016, I moved to Canal Winchester and married my soulmate. We have 2 dogs (Catfish & Daisy) who are are some spoiled pups. I usually like to try to do an art/craft project with the children. I always clean up any mess that is made, but I do believe the messier the project is, the more fun the child will have and the more creative he/she can be. I will ask you in advance if this is ok to do. I love to read and I will read to the children. A few of my favorite authors of kid's books are David Shannon, Sandra Boynton, Eric Carle, and of course, Dr Seuss.
