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.

My education includes a bachelor's in Sociology and i'm currently in my graduate degree for clinical mental health counseling! One day I decided to take babysitting classes as a teenager and have been working different child care positions ever since! I worked as an infant daycare teacher which led me to begin nannying, I've held 2 nanny positions, both lasting around 3 years and I even remain in contact with both families! I also have experience working as a child development specialist in a residential treatment facility for children with mental health diagnosis and, currently, I am a registered behavioral technician and have been for over 2 years. I am looking for a schedule that aligns with my current needs as a graduate student. I currently spend a few hours completing internship responsibilities from 2:00pm-6:30 p.m. each day, so I am searching for families looking for morning help till about 1/1:30pm! I am open to date nights/running extra errands when my schedule allows
