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.

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’m spunky and enjoy spending with children. I’m down on the floor engaging with them, reading stories, playing games, working puzzles, building with blocks, coloring, playing trucks, going for stroller rides, bike rides, walks, potty training etc….The children and myself have adventures together ! I’ve been watching children for years and consider it a privilege to watch your children. I homeschooled my son for 8 years. Was also a nanny for two elementary age girls. I also occasionally watch children at church. I enjoy pets ( I have birds) but I do have an allergy to cats. In my spare I enjoy sewing, baking, cooking, gardening, weaving & spinning yarn. I value & appreciate good communication with my families. The families I work with are my extended families. I am dependable & trustworthy. I can give references if requested. I have had a background check.

I am a positive, passionate, and dependable caregiver with a strong love for working with children. While I am new to professional nannying, I have extensive hands-on experience caring for my own toddler and babysitting my cousins. I also have a strong background as a Certified Nursing Assistant, providing care for elderly and sick individuals, which has strengthened my patience, responsibility, and attention to safety. I have been a stay-at-home mom since my daughter was born, and I am now seeking a part-time opportunity to support families in the Nashville area by creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for their children.
