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.

Hi!! My name is Tatum and I’ve been babysitting since I was maybe 12 years old. So 18+ years 🙈 I love getting the chance to be at their level and experience the world from their point of view. Adulthood is overrated anyways 😉 I come from a huge family with 8 children. I was one of the oldest, so you can imagine how much I had to help out. Not that I minded! I have experience with all ages, including twins. I’ve also been a Nanny to 3 families over the years. I have my CPR and First Aid certification and have been trained in infant CPR as well. I currently have a full time job in Conservation, but am looking for jobs on the weekends. I hope for an opportunity to get to know a family and work a couple times a month. I’m the perfect sitter for a well-deserved and regular night out! Reach out if you think I would make a good match for your family :)
