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.

Q: How does a child care provider interact with my child?

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

I would love to be considered for your babysitting position. I have more than 10 years of paid childcare experience that ranges from nannying for several families, working at a day camp, hosting children's birthday parties at paint-your-own-pottery studios, and a lot of babysitting. I've traveled extensively and I've done a lot of ministry work with children. I love working with children because I want to make a difference in their lives. I also have a Masters degree in Elementary Education from the University of Tennessee. I am CPR and First Aid Certified. I have a car and a clean driving record. I don't smoke. I'm comfortable with pets. And I'm reliable, friendly, and clean. My favorite thing to do with older kids is to take them on fun outings around the city- like splash-pads, the zoo, the pools, children's museums, trampoline places, etc. I know all the fun (and free!) places that kids love. I also have experience (and really love) caring for newborns. I am on three other nannying apps with only 5 star reviews and with background checks.

I grew up in a very large family so I’ve had experience since I was a kid. I am 22 years old so I have a lot of energy to play with the kids get stuff done clean I take work very seriously regardless of the job so my top priority is making sure everyone is safe yet happy I have experience with dogs. I’ve been a pet sitter many times so that will not be an issue. I’m very reliable available pretty much anytime. If there’s an emergency I do have my own transportation. I do not like to drive kids anywhere though just my preference.
