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.

Hello my name is princess, I am 19 years old in college studying nursing. I love children and I have so many years of experience with them. I grew up in a large family as the third child so I had to take care of my younger siblings when my parents were away. Because of this, I learnt to provide for them accurately and adequately. I also babysit my nieces or nephews when their parents are away. This has made me really familiar with children and infants.

Hello there! My name is Kenadi, and I bring the warmth of the west coast to Tulsa, having recently relocated from Dallas, Texas with my family thanks to the Tulsa Remote program. With a background in water safety from my time at a water park in Mansfield, Texas, I've honed my skills in keeping children safe while being a positive role model. Recently, I've had the joy of teaching at KinderCare: Champions, where I implemented a curriculum tailored to each child's needs, fostering a safe and nurturing environment where kids can thrive. I've had the privilege of caring for up to 20 children at once, equipped with First Aid/CPR training and a passion for early childhood education. My approach involves interactive learning methods and project-based activities, ensuring enhanced learning outcomes for every child. Beyond babysitting, my dream is to serve in law enforcement, particularly in roles supporting families and children. I can't wait to bring my dedication and expertise to your family's care needs!
