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. Babysitters and nannies have the option to complete regular background checks, and you can easily request a recent background check if they don’t have one or it is not recent.

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.

I absolutely adore children and I have been a sitter for most of my life. If you are in need of an evening out or simply to run errands, then look no further. I also have the freedom to be able to assist with your out-of-town needs. I have been with Sittercity for 10+ years and I am actively looking for a few families to add for a part time nanny position or occasional sitting It is difficult to find the time to relax on a "date" if you don't have a reliable sitter. Well, that's me. I am a non-smoker, own my own 2012 AWD crossover, college educated, and love children. I also have a 10 year clean driving record, Act 33/34 Clearances and current references, as well as CPR certified. If you would like further information, please get back to me and I willy quickly respond'

I love being a sitter because I love helping teach kids and helping them learn new things! I have a 4 year old brother who i've helped raise since he was born and spending time with him is my favorite thing to do. Being that I helped raise him for the last 4 years I've got pretty good experience with all the baby/toddler stage things :)

I have worked in daycares and I know what they are like. Most of the time your children do not get supervised that well. I am a play outside kind of girl not on the screen all day.

I love being a sitter because I do not see it as a job I see it as something I genuinely enjoy. I have worked in childcare for over 3 years and am a preschool teacher. I am almost finished with my masters in early childhood education and special education. I grew up with a special needs family member which ignited my passion for teaching and shaping little minds. I have worked with ages infant - 12 years old professionally. I am cpr/first aid certified and have all clearances. I work full time as a teacher during the academic year and constantly do trainings.
