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.

Q: How does a child care provider interact with my child?

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art. Wherever your child's interests lie, child care providers on Sittercity can engage them in a nurturing way.

Greetings, my name is Bryane Banks. During high school I joined a career technical school which I studied childcare. During my studying I was offered to work at their facility which ranged with different ages of the children. I learned how to meal prep for the children, dealing with nap times, potty training and kids with special needs. A few children families asked me to become their babysitters outside of work hours included on weekends which I was more than happy to help with.

Kids have always had a special place in my heart. From as long as I can remember I was one of the kids to help the other kids instead of doing my own thing. I have been helping/watching kids since I was 11 at church. Recently I have been sitting kids in my area on my days off or as needed.

I am a current college student at Moravian University, I am 19 years old, and I have been babysitting for about 5-6 years for kids between ages 5 months - 11 years old! I also have two younger sisters and many baby cousins that I have experience caring for. I am CPR and first aid certified, and on top of babysitting I can cook and clean! I have tutored before as well, and can assist with homework if needed. I also have my own car on campus, so I can travel a bit further in order to babysit and can drive children if needed.
