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.

I have 3 children, ages 13-18 I have 8 years experience as a Home Health Aide with special needs children of all ages and abilities, in school and in home. I have been around experts for years and learned so much from the professionals I have worked with such as teachers, therapy staff, TSS/behavioral staff workers, and families of special needs children. I obtained a degree as an Occupational Therapy Assistant 6 years ago and work PRN in nursing homes around my area. I have greatly enjoyed both careers. I am a very patient, attentive and caring, person by nature. I am easy going, consistent, and reliable. I believe in the importance of creating opportunities for children to develop and grow and try to do so in fun creative ways. I have a reliable vehicle, CPR and first aid certified. Due to my profession, I obtain Child abuse clearances, FBI, and criminal background checks every few years. Me and my family have had our 1st covid vaccine.

Hello! My name is Courtney Lathrop and I am 18 years old. Almost 10 years ago my mother had three younger children and ever since then i’ve been babysitting them. I have plenty of experience outside of my own siblings as well as experience babysitting special needs. I get told often i’m a baby whisper and that I should invest my future career in child care and I think babysitting/nannying will help me a lot. I’m a very creative person and can come up with plenty of things to keep kids entertained, I myself am still a kid at heart. I started taking an EMt course but decided to further it later on so I do have my CPR as well as general knowledge. I love being a sitter not only to have bonds but because i feel like i can understand children better then my own self sometimes.
