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 have 2 nieces and a nephew that I adore. Being around children gives you a fresh perspective that is needed within adult minds. I used to work at a daycare for about a year with kids ranging from month old babies to middle school children. I volunteered for the zoo and helped with the zoo camp. I also was able to teach a couple lessons to second graders. I used to tutor high school students and help them out with their homework. I also used to babysit and value outside time to play.

I genuinely enjoy children. I'm not quite old enough as I'd like to be to have children yet so being a sitter would warm my heart to not only know I'm watching someone else's precious babies but also to give those parents or that single parent a break for a night or even an overnight evening. I'm not asking for a lot, just that someone will take the time to really look at my profile and notice I want to do as much as I can to help ANYBODY out!! I was always that kid who would help out the babysitter with the other kids and now since I am fully an adult I'd like to be that sitter that helps out you and your beautiful families!!

When I was younger I was expected to raise my siblings, ever since then I've always wanted to help kids. I used to watch the daughter of group home workers, I watched her from when she was 8 months to 3 years old, and I loved every second of that job. I have learned cpr, but am no longer certified. I helped assistant teach kindergarten during my senior year. I'm looking for a job that will help me and someone else, I cant have kids, but have always loved them.
