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.

As a caring mom to a 4-month-old, I understand just how much trust it takes to leave your little one in someone else’s care. My hands-on experience with my own baby, along with a natural love for children, means I bring patience, attentiveness, and compassion to every family I help. I’m comfortable caring for newborns, infants, and older children — from bottle-feeding and diaper changes to playtime and bedtime routines. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and fun environment where both parents and kids feel at ease.

I have been with them for a year now and I simple love the job, we have a team of 6 therapists and we all work closely to help her with her physical and cognitive challenges. But as of Sept 15th will be my last day with the family because of relocation to CA, and of course I was asked to move with them but my life is here in the city, I'm currently working on my bachelors in social work and living in the Bronx. Before working with her I worked for a year with a nanny share families in Brooklyn, and it's was a newer experience but I loved and care for that families, two girls I took care of only at 3 months. To they made 15 months and I went on to another family, but I still babysit for the families and stay in close contact.
