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.

I've been babysitting for about 6 years for siblings/family and family friends but i would say i’ve recently done more in the last 3 years. I absolutely adore working with kids of all ages! I’m 18years old and I recently graduated and currently play travel softball, which has taught me a lot about teamwork, responsibility, and patience qualities I bring into every babysitting job. My softball coach brought a special 11 year old boy into my life that has down syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and celiac so over the years i’ve learned a lot. I'm available Monday through Thursday from 5 AM to 6 PM, and I'm happy to help with early mornings, daytime care, running errands, playtime, and more. Whether it's keeping your little ones entertained, helping with routines, or just being a reliable extra set of hands, I'm here to make your day a little easier.

I was raised in a home where my mother ran a daycare for infants & preschoolers. While in college, I worked in the infant room at a hospital's child care. I simply loved raising my own three beautiful children. They are now grown and are my pride and joy. Several neighborhood children have been in my care over the years. For 4 years I took the newborn photos at St Joseph's hospital, then a few more years I worked Front Office in St Joe's NICU. I've nannied consistently now for 13 years, for so so many wonderful families both FT & PT in their homes. I've fully enjoyed watching each of their newborns & toddlers grow into bright preschoolers. Currently I Nanny for twin boys who will be starting Kindergarten soon. I'm seeking a family in Fayetteville, Manlius or Cazenovia. I'm comfortable with newborns toddlers & preschoolers, family pets, cooking, laundry, errands & light housekeeping - but babies' needs always come first. Here's to your happy healthy family!
