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 have a degree in Early Childhood development. My career was mainly in Child and Youth Services at a large Army Post (Ft Leavenworth KS). After moving to Oklahoma in 2011 I worked as a FT Nanny for a Family with 5 children for 6 years. (Initially just 1 child LOL) After retiring from that job and pursued my hobby of Labradoodle breeding which I retired from since. My oldest grand child is almost 17, so my babysitting services are rarely needed now. I am looking for a part time position to fill part of my week as I like to stay busy. I used to renew my CDA credential every 3 years, which was needed to work as Master teacher at a childcare center. I have had first aid and CPR training as part of our mandatory annual training with the military. Please feel free to contact me should you still be looking for the right candidate to care for your little one.
