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.

I am a mom of 2 kids that are autistic and have homeschooled for around 10 years. I started babysitting in 2003 and did this for multiple families until around 2008. I also got my CNA lisence in 2005 and and did home health and care of adults with intillectual disabilities until end of 09. 2010 was the year of illness and new baby. I had my second son December 20th of 2010. I started watching kids and running in home childcare August 2011. My second son had multiple delays and medically complex. It was a way to stay home with him. I started homeschooling in 2014 and started working as a nanny around 2015. I have also done special needs nanny and household manager. When covid happened I slowed down to focus on family and health needs of aging family. I am now mixing all this together whenever there is a need and doing boutique style care when someone needs it without the extra cost. I am a caregiver and just focusing in on individual family needs.

I've been working in a child care setting or caring for little ones in their homes for over 10 years! I have an Associates degree in Early Childhood Education with specialized focus with infants and toddlers! I am currently staying at home with my 6 month old son while my 4 year old daughter is in school. My baby comes along with me, who doesn't love a built in playmate?! My current job is coming to an end so I'll be looking for a new family who needs a nanny or regular babysitter. I'm open and flexible but in a perfect world I'd maintain a 3-5 day work schedule. My schedule is at the mercy of my daughter's school day as they don't provide transportation for the pre-k level. My availability is 730/8 (depending on traffic) to 130, M-F.
