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 just finished my sophomore years at The Ohio State University. I love being around kids with their fun and imaginative creativity. I have worked with kids in many different settings from having so many little cousins to working at places such as Aqua-Tots swim school and being around them all day. I am planning to work in the healthcare field so I am trained in CPR, BLS, First Aid, and some other skills. I currently am looking for part time jobs while home in the summer while babysitting as well. I share a car with my family so sometimes I do have a car to drive. I have been babysitting for 6 years now and have been with all ages. Please reach out with any questions you may have but I am looking forward to the connections I will build.
