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.

Hello! I’m a mom of 3 children (26, 23, 18) and I used to own/operate a licensed home child care. Now I work as a HR Admin in S. Lebanon so I am available for evenings and weekends only. My husband and I are active at Crossroads Church and we live in Mason. In the past I have been a substitute teacher, VBS teacher, soccer/cheer/football/basketball/baseball mom, and a Girl Scout leader. After being a nanny for over 4 years I needed to get a job with healthcare insurance because my husband lost his job. I have great references, an excellent driving record and a clean background. I’m happy to meet in advance if you would like. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

I have a natural talent for working with children and a strong sense of responsibility, which I’ve developed over the years by helping raise my younger brother, who is now nine. Through that experience, I’ve learned patience, empathy, and how to handle a variety of situations with care and understanding. In addition, I have training in lifeguarding, CPR, and general safety, which has given me the skills to stay calm and act quickly in emergencies. I’m a personable, sociable individual who genuinely enjoys connecting with others and creating a positive, safe environment for everyone around me.
