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! My name is Michelle, and I have about a year and a half of babysitting experience. I’m a nursing student at Bowling Green State University, working toward becoming a pediatric nurse someday. I’m the oldest of three sisters, so caring for and looking after younger kids has always been a part of my life. I grew up in a small town near Cleveland (Chagrin Falls) and have always been active — I played soccer, ran track and cross country, and sang in choir. I’m a bubbly, energetic person who loves to engage with kids through play, creativity, and activities they enjoy. I’m artistic and love building connections that make every child feel heard and seen. I’ve babysat for family members and neighbors, helped with meals and snacks, and I’m comfortable handling basic first aid if needed.
