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.

Being a babysitter and nanny means the world to me. I find no better joy in the world than I do when I am babysitting or just being with kids. I have always wanted to be a mom and it is true what they say about the mother instinct that some people have. I have a ton of experience, I started babysitting when I was 12 years old and the baby was just 2 months old. I still babysit that same kid to this day. I love the connection that you can make with the kids that you babysit, as well as watching them grow. I previously worked in childcare for about 3 years and worked with all ages. Throughout the 6 hears I have been doing this I have worked with infants to about 5th grade. All ages bring their own challenges and skills that I love working with.

Hi there, I’m max!! I’m a 23 year old female from Westminster, CO. I now reside in Greenville, SC by the conastee lake reserve. I’m great with pets and kiddos. I’ve got 7 cats, a dog, and a HUGE heart. I have had experience with kids professionally since the age of 15. I babysat before that, for about 3 years. I’ve been a nanny to three families, each for about 2 years. I’ve worked as a teacher assistant and a lead teacher primarily in pre-school but I also have a year of experience with infants, and multiple years with school age kiddos. I’m most confident working with 2-12 year olds, any gender. I have a car, professional housekeeping experience, and lots of creative hobbies to keep kids off of their screens. I’m a huge Lego, art, comic, book, and cartoon nerd. Whatever niche interest your kiddo has? I’m probably well versed in it. I also used to be a character performer / princess and I’m currently working as a party host and assistant manager at a toy store. And I do have tattoos and piercings, if that’s an issue I can remove them and/or hide them. I have high confidence in my abilities and I am a very hard worker. I find my worth in being a good role model and being in a productive and clean environment.
