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.

Q: How does a child care provider interact with my child?

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

I am a mother of three daughters and a grandmother of 4 grandchildren. My youngest daughter was diagnosed with PDD ( Pervasive Developmental Disorder ) when she was 4. I have been her strongest supportive parent for 30 years. I currently work overnights in Royersford PA. I have worked in the Owen J. Roberts School District through the YMCA's before-and-after school care program. Prior to that, I worked at a daycare with children ages 6 months to 4 years old. I am currently looking to watch children in my home. I have a large playroom with lots of educational toys, a spare bedroom with a crib and a twin bed if the children require a nap and a large yard with lots of outdoor activities for children. I help children learn through fun and games :) I have all the required certificates and necessary clearances to work with children. I have had a variety of jobs over many years, but I found that working with, and taking care of children, is the most rewarding :)

I graduated from Penn State in 2022 with my bachelors degree in Elementary Education, I am also certified to teach pre k-4. I have been babysitting for younger children since I was 16 years old. I love working with children and feel quite comfortable with all ages of children. Also I have owned a dog my whole life and have watched and cared for many dogs in my neighborhood when my neighbors are away. A few summers ago I had the opportunity to work at the YMCA summer camp and had an amazing time working with all the children. I have all my certifications. Last school year, I worked at an elementary school as a one on one. It was a great experience. This year I am a building sub at a near by district. Overall, I have a lot of experience with children and love working with them. Nothing makes me happier then seeing children smile and have fun. The more experience I have with children, the more it will help me to become a future teacher.
