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. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

Greetings! My name is NaKiya Jackson. I go by Kiya or Ki. I’ve been in healthcare for a little close to a year. I started off as a DDMAT in late October to early November. Being a DDMAT I took care of adults with developmental disabilities. I then months later went on to take care of children in DHS care that had behavioral issues and were waiting for placement, or I did hospital visits. I enjoyed what I did because imagine you not having somewhere there for you in your most vulnerable. That’s super hard and very unfair. I just want to come in to make everyone’s lives easier. My picture is still being reviewed and verified! If interested we can FaceTime!
