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.

Fostering a child's growth and development is my true passion, and I have dedicated the past 14 years to making a positive impact on the lives of families. My patient and calm nature allows me to create a nurturing environment for up to four children, ranging from infants to pre-teens. I hold CPR Training and First Aid Training certifications, and my Early Child Development Coursework informs my approach to care.

Hi! My name is Addie, and caring for children is something I truly love and feel passionate about. I’ve spent the past 6 years babysitting my nieces and nephews, caring for children of different ages and personalities. I also occasionally helped at an in-home daycare owned by a friend’s mom, where I gained experience helping supervise and care for multiple children at once. I recently became a mother to my sweet 2-month-old son, and motherhood has been the absolute best and most rewarding experience of my life. It has made my love for caring for children grow even more. Because I’m currently exclusively breastfeeding, I’m hoping to find a babysitting position where I can either stay home with my son while caring for another child or bring him with me when possible. I love kids of all ages and enjoy creating a safe, loving, fun, and comfortable environment where children feel cared for and happy. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and understanding of the importance of routines, communication, and making parents feel comfortable while their child is in my care. I’m also comfortable around pets and happy to help with light housekeeping, meals, playtime, naps, and daily routines. I would love the opportunity to help support another family while also continuing this special season of motherhood with my son.

I am 18 and I’ve been paid for babysitting since I was 12. I have 3 little siblings that I helped raise from infancy to now (they are 8, 10, 14) I love kids I absolutely adore them! Every time a mother says her kids don’t usually like people they usually like me. My parents called me a “baby whisperer” because kids and babies love me so much. I usually hang out with kids more than teens my age 😂. I am CPR certified and have had experience with that before. I can clean anything and help tidy your whole house with no extra charge of course. I’ve been professionally hired as a cleaner several times. I can handle crazy little kids I’ve had my fair share of them. I would love to help any type of parents and watch your kids!
