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. Babysitters and nannies have the option to complete regular background checks, and you can easily request a recent background check if they don’t have one or it is not recent.

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 name is Daryann. I graduated from Murray State University with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Criminal Justice. I have quite a bit of experience in childcare as my grandmother owns and operates a state regulated daycare back home and I worked for her throughout high school. I was also blessed with four younger siblings, and had the pleasure of helping my parents with them growing up. Finally, from 2019-2022, I was a sitter/caretaker for an individual with Muscular Dystrophy. Because of these things, I have experience with children ages newborn to 16. I would love to find a family to sit for long term. Watching kids grow and thrive is something that just makes me happy. I can do light housework and really anything else as needed.
