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 have been caring for children over ten years. I’m a mother of 3 grownup children of my own. I enjoy working with children and watching them grow. My last position was with a family for 1 1/2 years they moved out of state. I took care of their daughter since she was about 4 months old. I’m currently taking care of another girl since she was an infant . She is five now and goes to daycare the rest of the week. I was taking care of two boys also but that came to an end when covic came around. I can prepare meals and do laundry and even help with pets if needed.

Lorraine was our full time nanny from when our daughter was 6 months - 2 years old. She was always very engaged with our daughter - playing, coloring and teaching her things. Lorraine is also very reliable and never showed up late. She was flexible to our schedule when we needed changes or a longer stay. We feel very fortunate to have had Lorraine be a part of our daughters life!

Hi, my name is Izabella, and I've been caring for children since I was 15. Growing up in a large family, I developed a love for kids and early childcare through helping my younger siblings. I have held two long-term babysitting positions caring for a boy from 6 months to age 4 and a girl from 6 months to age 2. These roles helped me support children through key developmental stages and build strong relationships with families. I have cared for nonverbal children and meal prepping, assisting with routines, cleaning up, and providing transportation from daycare. I pride myself on patience, attentiveness, and adapting to each child's needs. I can prepare meals and provide transportation while keeping children engaged in activities. I am comfortable caring for pets. I always follow the parents' lead when enforcing household rules. I provide regular updates via text or phone call, and I am happy to follow your preferred communication method.
