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.

Q: How does a child care provider interact with my child?

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.

Hello, I am a 56 year old active lady. I have a lot of experience with children. I started babysitting at age 12, worked at two daycare centers at 16 and 19. Became a nanny at 20 to 24, then got married and had my step-daughter to help raise. At 27 I became a mother to my only son, and so he would have siblings I did foster care for 7 years and fostered 16 children. I also did daycare in my home for many years. My last job was as a special Ed bus driver. My children all loved me, snd the parents were grateful to have me as the one to drive their children because they knew I genuinely cared for their children, and my interest was always on the children’s safety and welfare.
