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.

Hi! My name is Caitlin and I am very interested in being your nanny! I have about 7 years of nanny experience, 3 boys ranging from 3 months to 8 years old, two sets of infant twins, and twins with an older sibling. I also come from a family of teachers and know the importance of fun filled learning activities at a young age. I am 29 years old am hoping to finish a Geography degree in the next few years. When I do return to school, I plan on taking night classes so I can be available full time during the day. I love cooking healthy meals and would much rather have a picnic outside than eat in front of a TV. I currently am working with a family of twin 2 year olds and a 4 year old, and they will soon no longer need childcare. My start date is flexible as well. I am looking forward to the opportunity to help your child grow and learn while having fun!
