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 became a caregiver the second I realized I could. When I was younger, I always loved helping my mom with my little brother and as I got older, I always found myself enjoying spending time with kids. I always want children to be in safe and loving hands. My best friend from when I was 14 has a nephew who is now 6 and I love spending time with him. Around the age of 16-17, I had the opportunity to raise a infant till he was 7 months. I then went on to working at a daycare for about a year until I joined college. I was an infant teacher but spent lots of time with the older kids as well. I just want the absolute best for your baby no matter the age and would love to be apart of your family!
