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. Babysitters and nannies have the option to complete regular background checks, and you can easily request a recent background check if they don’t have one or it is not recent.

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.

A little bit about myself, I don't have much paid experience but I do have 2 kids of my own and I was Newborn Hearing Screen Technician at the Chambersburg Hospital until Wellspan ending the contract with the company I worked for. Then there were no jobs available close by. I've done CPR and First Aide training. I've been a stay at home mom for 6 years. I'm compassionate and empathetic. I'm also organized and focus on cleanliness.

I have been a nanny for the last 20 years and in child care for the past 25 years. I have experience with children of all ages and enjoy helping them to grow and develop to their fullest potential. It's very special to be entrusted with such a wonderful privilege and responsibility when caring for a young one. I also have an 16 year-old son of my own, so family is very important to me as well.
