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.

At the age of 14, my ADVENTURE of babysitting began. Living in a gated-community, I drove my bike 10 minutes away to a families home in which I would get their 7 year old off the bus and ‘play’ (I viewed babysitting as something fun to do) with him for a few hours. Since then, I have created many more adventures with numerous families and kiddos of all ages! From building Lego sets, finding arts & crafts ideas, helping parents and kiddos through the horrors of online schooling during COVID-19, going from reading picture books-to-chapter books, being able to see these young future leaders grow; all while I am growing and learning more myself! I completed my Associates Degree - Associates in Science at Harrisburg Community College in 2021. After completing over 70 early education credits, I then transferred to Shippensburg University. I am going into my final semester of my school career (well where I’m the one attending… for now!). In Fall of 2023, I will be starting my semester of student teaching, very exciting! I will be graduating from Shippensburg with a Bachelor’s degree in Early Education PreK-4. I then plan on becoming a full-time sub at a local school district to get even more experience and education in the real-world! I hope to teach either 2 or 3 grade for a few years and eventually resume my studies at Ship for my Masters Degree in Special Education!
