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.

I have known my whole life that I want to work with kids. I’ve spent many years babysitting children ages 1 to 10, and I also work with elementary students ages 5 to 13 through the HOST after-school program, helping with homework, leading fun activities, preparing snacks, and keeping kids safe. I have about a year of formal experience with HOST. While I typically lead a group of 16 kids, I am most comfortable caring for up to 6 at a time on my own. I’m friendly, reliable, and love using games, puzzles, and educational apps to keep kids engaged. I respect household rules and will always communicate in the way that works best for you. I recently graduated high school with a focus in Early Childhood Education and earned some college credits along the way. I am now a freshman at Robert Morris University, majoring in Psychology. I know some ASL, am CPR and First Aid certified, have my own car, and I’m great with pets. I am excited to bring my positive energy to your family and create a safe, fun environment for your kids!
