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.

Hi, I’m Laura. I’m a mom of 2 grown children and I’ve been involved in childcare, in many aspects, for over 20 years. I’m a former teacher who has taught pre school through high school age children. I’m also a private tutor and have all my clearances. I love children and believe in a multi sensory experience when working with them.

Hi, my name is Emily! I have loved caring for children from a young age and have many years of hands on experience with infants and toddlers. I am a mom to a 3 year old, a certified doula, and a lactation counselor. I am also certified in CPR/AED/First Aid through the Red Cross. I have a clean driving record and reliable transportation. I use authoritative (aka gentle) parenting methods with my son, and would like to find a family with similar parenting beliefs. I prioritize firm but loving boundaries to keep kids safe. I am comfortable doing light meal prep, and light housekeeping. We are a low to no screen time family, and I love to facilitate screen free fun by playing outside, making crafts, building with blocks, or involving little ones in the kitchen. In my free time, I enjoy coloring, knitting, crocheting, reading, and spending time with my family and pets. Before having my son, I worked as a veterinary technician and fostered kittens for a non profit, so I am definitely comfortable with pets! I am naturally a calm and patient person, even in the midst of chaos. I am very reliable and a strong communicator. I have always been a nurturer, and aim to provide a fun, loving, and consistent environment for children to learn and grow. I can’t wait to connect, and see if we’re a good fit!

I love being a babysitter because I can play with the kids and help them with anything they need, I also like getting to know the families and what they like to do. My experience is that i worked in my Churches Nursery with newborns to 5 years old. and I babysit for my family if they need me. I can help kids with their homework, I can make them snacks or food if they get hungry, I can put them to sleep if they need to go down, and I will always play with them
