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.

I love being a sitter because caring for children truly brings me joy. I enjoy supporting their growth, creating a safe and positive environment, and building trusting relationships with both kids and parents. I have several years of childcare experience, including working as an Au Pair in the United States, where I cared for a baby from 5 months old until she was 2 years old. I also have experience with children of different ages, helping with daily routines, meal preparation, playtime, learning activities, and maintaining a structured and nurturing environment. In terms of skills and training, I am a Registered Nurse from Colombia, currently living in Oregon. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I have strong knowledge of child safety, development, and emergency response. I am responsible, patient, organized, and able to adapt to each child’s unique needs. I can also help with light household tasks, bedtime routines, and supporting healthy habits for children.

I love being a sitter because caring for children brings me genuine joy. I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and positive environment where kids feel comfortable to learn, play, and express themselves. Every child is unique, and I love building connections, supporting their growth, and being a trusted helping hand for busy families. I have experience caring for children of various ages, from infants to preteens. My background includes both formal and informal childcare—babysitting for neighbors and family friends, supporting families with after-school routines, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, and engaging kids in creative activities. I’m comfortable managing bedtime routines, keeping children entertained, and ensuring they feel secure and supported throughout my time with them. I bring strong communication, patience, and problem-solving skills to my work as a sitter. I’m reliable, attentive, and able to stay calm in any situation. I prioritize safety and have training in basic first aid/CPR (you can modify this if needed). I’m skilled at creating age-appropriate activities, managing routines, and supporting homework or reading time. I’m also happy to assist with light household tasks to help the family’s day run smoothly.

I love to sit because you get to hang out, keep little ones safe, and have fun playing games or doing crafts with them. Experience-wise, I started up by babysitting family or friends. The skills I have are patience, first aid, and good communication.
