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.

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 love kids a lot, I grew up with a lot of kids in my family and was more of a family babysitter. I have tons of cousins and little siblings while I have also babysat other kids around my family. I’ve been getting pain for babysitting and dog sitting since I was about 10 years old so I’ve been around kids and watching them/ animals for as long as I can remember. I have also worked over the summer at slick city action park in columbus so my job had me around kids and helping kids then too. I am currently a student athlete at mount union for wrestling and nursing so I plan on trying to make money on the side to pay off college while doing what I love.
