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. Babysitters and nannies have the option to complete regular background checks, and you can easily request a recent background check if they don’t have one or it is not recent.

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’m a 19 (soon to be 20) year old girl who absolutely adores kids! I grew up with a large family surrounded by little ones at all times and it really gave me a passion for taking care of them. I also have some professional experience having worked at a preschool/daycare for several months. I tend to come off as very shy but i’m definitely a more relaxed and laid back person. Despite the shyness, kids seem to warm up to me very quickly and always seem to like me! I have a pretty open schedule except Mondays and Wednesdays from 10:00a.m-1:00p.m and have my own transportation. Some more things you should know are that I don’t smoke, and I am CPR,AED, and first aid certified.

With over 10 years of experience working with young children and in education, I hold a bachelor’s degree in Child & Adolescent Development from Cal State Fullerton, a master’s in education, and a multiple-subject teaching credential. Little ones have always had a special place in my heart as I have tutored and taught at the elementary level, worked as an Assistant Director of a 40+ year, privately-owned preschool, working in all capacities that were needed, served as an ABA specialist to children with special needs in Orange County, CA, and recently as an intervention tutor for students around the United States. I also happen to have a little 5-year old brother with whom I’ve had the pleasure to nanny, especially at the beginning of the pandemic when he was just a few months old. Over the last five years, I have worked as an elementary teacher (6th grade, 3rd, 4th, and 1st) and currently teach the 1st grade during the school year!
