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 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'm 23 years old and have multiple years of experience in childcare. Both in professional and familial setting. As the oldest of a 7 childen household, my interest in childhood learning started extremely early. Most of my teenage years were spent having babysitting or housekeeping jobs while juggling AP classes and eventually college credits. In recent years I've still done the occasional babysitting. As well as house and pet sitting.
