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.

I graduated from Duquesne University with a 3.6 gpa and a psychology degree. I grew up with little siblings. I have a 9 year old brother and he is my main source of experience. Taking care of him the past 9 years and watching him grow up has been the biggest joy of my life. I now work as a family service worker for the state and am around children most of the day!

Hello, my name is Heather. I am 42 years old, a mother of three and love caring for children, as I have been doing for many years. I am a loving and caring person, as I treat the child as my own. I like the child and parent(s) to meet me first so they can get comfortable with me and my family. I am pretty flexible with babysitting hours. I do have a car and a clean driving record. I would prefer to babysit in my home with the child dropped off and picked up, but I am open to the possibility of being in your home. I do like to be paid up front, depending on your pay period. Payment can be negotiated. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have references available. Please contact me for more information.

I’ve spent my entire teen years babysitting / pet sitting and i’d love nothing more than to make your little ones happy and smile. I’m both first aid and CPR certified. I’ve worked with children, infants, and even teens myself. My favorite thing to encourage your little ones to do is arts and crafts (which I can bring my own) to make memories for parents to have forever. Im very patient and friendly. Even if your child has special needs, I would still love to nanny or babysit for them. I want to pursue a career in child care and nannying.
