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.

My son went to Crayons & Lollipops day care as a child. I could not have asked for a more wonderful experience him! My family was met with open arms and love from the instant we spoke with Brandi. It has been 18 years since my son was preschool age, but we have maintained the same trust and "family" relationship as the first day we met. My son learned so much when entrusted in her care. Anyone looking for childcare would benefit from Brandi's experience, kindness, and passion for helping to raise and educate tomorrow's leaders!

I love babysitting because caring for children has always been close to my heart. Growing up, I helped take care of my siblings while my mom worked, so I learned early how important love, patience, and responsibility are when it comes to kids. I started babysitting my siblings first, then began helping families in my neighborhood, and over time I’ve cared for children in Georgia, North Carolina, and now South Carolina. I always make sure every child is safe, well cared for, and treated with kindness and respect. I’m comfortable working with children of all needs and personalities, and I always follow each family’s home rules. I take pride in bringing that Southern care and hospitality into every home I step into, and I don’t mind babysitting from my home if needed.
