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.

Hello! My name is Alixandra Swan. I have over a year of professional experience as a nanny and private tutor. I worked with two young boys, ages 5 and 8, one of whom was diagnosed with autism, while the other had "behavioral issues". I worked full-time as a nanny and homeschool teacher and was only let go because they decided the children needed more social interaction and sent them back to in-person learning. They referred me to the second family. This wonderful situation was homeschooling a kindergartener and a first-grader, both girls. I did a Montessori-based program with them, and we went on many field trips. I drove them to and from sports, appointments, etc. Eventually, summer came and they left for Montana for the two-month break and started attending a private catholic school upon return. I deeply cherished my time with each of these children and am passionate about positively impacting children's lives. I attended GCU for elementary education and special education, but have decided to change course and am currently attending classes online to eventually do echocardiography with a pediatric emphasis. I would also like to note some personal experience. I am the oldest girl out of 5 siblings (large age gaps) and grew up helping my mom with the babies for many years. I watched my youngest sister, who is now 7, full-time from the ages of 6 months to 2 years old.
