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. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

I am a third year college student who is studying in psychology and wgst. That being said I love doing super fun activities to keep children entertained and engaged. Some of the tings I like are arts and crafts, music, movies, cooking, and baking. It is really important to me that I provide families with an all around experience. I do enjoy watching kids and interacting with them. I have a lot of experience watching the smaller children in my family and outside of that I occasionally watch the older kids of my mother’s friends. I have watched up to four children at a time for multiple hours. Most of my experience is with children under 12. I believe in making a connection with both children and parents to build trust and make everyone in the sitting process comfortable. Even though this is not my main stream of employment year round I do still take this job seriously and I am still dedicated to it. I am currently free to start ASAP.

Sadie was amazing, and I would highly recommend her to any family looking for child care. She went above and beyond expectations, communicated well, was on-time each day, and ensured my kids were entertained and taken care of throughout the day. She will always be my first choice in the future.

I love being a sitter because being around kids calms me and is so much fun. You never know what they are gonna do or say next, and they're just so funny. I am always the one who has to babysit at family gatherings, when my parents hangout with their friends, in the neighborhood, and at my pool. I am lifeguard certified (including depe water), first aid, and CPR certified. I have a younger sibling so I know how stubborn, crazy, loving, creative, and energetic kids can be.

Whitney has babysat our 10 year old daughter many times over the years and we can’t recommend her enough. She’s sweet, funny, dependable, and naturally looks out for the younger kids in our neighborhood. Our 3 year old grandson runs straight to her every time he sees her, and she’s wonderful with him too. As a summer lifeguard at our pool, she also brings first aid training and great situational awareness that is so important when caring for children. Any family would be lucky to have her.
