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 hope you will consider me to take care of your precious children. I am a mother of two older teenagers, a former elementary school teacher, Preschool and daycare teacher. I knew from a young age I was meant to work with children and I have since I was 17 years old. I have taken more CPR and First Aid courses then I can remember over the years. I am currently employed by a family in Tullahoma so my hours must be taken into consideration unfortunately. I work M T W Th F from 8:00-3:30. I am available in the evening and weekends anytime. I realize that will limit my possibilities, but I have been with the family for over five years and currently I am homeschooling the two children. What I would want you to know about myself is I am very responsible and I would treat your children as if they were my own. Thank you for your consideration, Kelly

Hey y’all, my name is Emma Nichols. Technically I have about 19 years worth of babysitting- I lucked out and was my parents first of 3 girls, but I have 4 years and counting of professional childcare. Over the years I have many responsibilities including: meal prep, proper hygiene, quality and appropriate entertainment, special needs care, infant care, sick care, potty training, house work, homework help, pet care, and safe transportation to/ from school, running errands, and extracurriculars. I have worked at a daycare and have multiple certifications and experience from my time there. At the daycare, I experienced working with a dozen to two dozen children in one setting. This helped build my awareness of surroundings and attention to detail. Though I am younger, I do not think there are many obstacles I haven’t accomplished. As your child’s caregiver, their safety and happiness is my top priority. I have also been employed at an elementary school. I have a very wide range of experience with different ages. I am currently employed in the healthcare industry and take my experience in medicine with my care for children in case their is ever an emergency or just something simple like a stomach bug. As a person, I enjoy new adventures, being with my friends, church on Sundays, and cuddling with my dog. I view myself as a very warm and outgoing person, so kids and I get along great. Upon request, I can send recommendations or any other information needed. I hope you all have a blessed day!!

I was a nanny to 3 little girls for a couple of years, and I am also the oldest of 5 kiddos and have been babysitting them since I can remember. I am CPR/First Aid certified and I always keep my certification on me just in case, so feel free to ask to see it! I was also a kindergarten teaching assistant so if any of your littles need help with their homework, I can assist no problem! I have been a vet tech for years and recently moved to town because I got married and I’m looking for a steady job to help out with some bills around the house. I have two pups and a snake at home so rest assured, your animals will also be very cared for!
