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.

I am 19 years old, a big sister of three brothers and a sister. Parents were often not around so things were in my hands. All around I love having a blast and laughing with kids, but also know how to enforce rules, still making them happy and content. I’ve spent lots of time babysitting and watching over elders in a child-like state.

While I am new to babysitting, I do have experience as a preschool assistant teacher where I facilitate child led learning during the school year and summer program. I am very well versed in coming up with tons of activities and crafts to keep kids entertained and engaged (especially without screen time!). Most of my childcare experience has been with ages 4-7, but I do have multiple younger siblings and cousins I have babysat in the past that were older! I’ve worked with a wide range of personalities, and I find it easy to adapt to the children and their interests as needed- I’m also very patient with them too. I’m really passionate about helping kids learn, and helping kids in general, and I am so grateful for any opportunity to gain experience in the field as I work towards my long term career goals. I can help with cooking, tidying up, homework, and laundry as well if needed! I have my own car too, and I am certified in First Aid and CPR as well.
