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.

Hannah has done a tremendous job helping care for my 3 year old daughter. She made arrangements to be available for an entire work-week when preschool was closed for summer break. She is always right on time, has great energy, helps with additional household items, and would recommend her for any babysitting job.

I have worked as a CNA for a year and a half now at NHC Rehab Center. I work with geriatric patients and, although it is a little different, I have experience in feeding, bathing, and diapering them. While I haven’t had paid experience in the childcare setting, I have been volunteering in my church nursery since I was twelve and also have younger cousins, siblings, and neighbors that I have cared for growing up. I love children and I am currently seeking a degree in speech pathology at ETSU. Growing up, I have always had a love for children and the creative fun that caring for them brings. I find it so rewarding and I hope to incorporate that love into my future career.
