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.

I’m an online college student currently working toward my degree in Nursing with a long-term goal of working in pediatric care. I absolutely love spending time with children and have years of hands-on experience babysitting my 12 nieces and nephews as well as other family members, ranging from newborns to preteen age. This has given me a strong understanding of how to care for kids at every stage of development. I’m CPR certified, have my own reliable transportation, and I always prioritize safety, engagement, and fun. Whether it's playing games, doing crafts, reading stories, or helping with homework, I enjoy finding meaningful ways to connect with children and support their growth. I also think it is important to get kids outside. I’m also happy to help out with light housework and anything else that helps make your life easier. I also grew up with a nanny for the majority of my life so I feel I understand the importance of making a good connection with the kids and the parents, making sure that everyone is happy and taken care of. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and create a positive, caring environment for your little ones!

I often get asked why I want to be a nanny - well here's why! I plan to someday own a center of my own and I want to learn and work with children in every aspect.
