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. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

Hey there! I’m currently employed at Southside Elementary School as an Afterschool Caretaker for children ages 4 all the way to 11. At work I’m responsible for the safety and fun for 30+ children where I have gained 2 years of very valuable experience. When I’m working I’m an active participant in games, crafts, homework, spelling words, and much more. What sets me apart from others are the background checks I’ve gotten through the state of Tennessee as well as the required CPR certifications, health, and safety trainings I have earned from my time at Southside. Furthermore I’m a current member for a local lab responsible for helping mothers, fathers, and children in hard circumstances. I also have the experience of caring for more than one child at a time which is useful if you have multiple children! Apart from my passion of childcare I’m also passionate in my studies. I am a Junior at ETSU majoring in Child Psychology. This major includes classes on Childhood Development and Child Psychology of which I’m proud to have gotten A’s in. I’m free in the afternoons and am willing to do pick ups from school. I can prepare meals and I’m pet friendly. I look forward to meeting you!
