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’m 30 years old, CPR & First Aid Certified. I got in child care over 8 years ago and feel very lucky and blessed that I have job that I'm truly passionate about. I enjoy everything, from meal time to playtime and story time. I'm responsible, hard working, reliable, organized and I'm always on time. I earned Bachelor degree in Europe as a teacher in early childhood for kids 7-10 years old and worked as a teacher in a school for a year. I also recently graduated on College and got my second degree, Associate in Science. I’m also former au pair (2016-2018) and was working with two amazing families in California (happy to provide references for the right fit). I have experience with kids aged 0 months to 14 years old. I know how important is for parents to feel safe and secure with their child care, and I'm committed to earn your trust and confidence! Last family I have worked for is an amazing family from Los Angeles where I took care of 5 kids, age 0-15 years old. I have been with them for 3 years and enjoyed every moment with them. We always worked together as a team and the only reason for us to go separate ways is due to my relocation to another state. I believe that the key for every relationship is a good and open communication as we both should work together as a team towards one goal as well as be support system for your little ones. I am more than happy to provide resume as well as references for a good fit. Looking forward to hear from you!
