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 recently graduated from Harrah High School and will be beginning a pre-med track at the University of Oklahoma in the fall. I am the oldest of four and have raised my siblings since I was able to read and write. I love caring for children because it’s a rewarding job, minus the pay, you’re able to make great relationships with families. I am CPR certified for babies-adults, experienced with seizures, and asthma.

I grew up in a a big family of 9. I'm the 2nd oldest of 7 kids and I grew up taking care of my 4 younger siblings with the help of my older brother and parents when they were available. I've made meals, changed diapers, helped with homework and entertained them on a daily basis. No up to date cpr/first aid certificates but was certified in the navy. while I have no up to date experience in child care I'm caring and patient, and wish to use my experience babysitting to further my experience in child care while gearing to college for early childhood development.

I’m a sophomore in college. I also currently work at a daycare in all types of rooms so I have all the required certifications. I volunteer at my church and watch the little ones while their families sit at service. I’ve watched my nephew since they were newborns and now are 3 and 5. I’m good with kids of all ages but prefer newborn-7 years old. I’m skilled with helping with homework, cooking, and entertainment.
