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.

Hey there! I’m Bianca, and I would love to watch your child(ren) whenever you need! I do great with kids of all ages since I raised my younger siblings myself. I have a son as well (2 years currently) so I’m looking for some extra money while I can still care for my child as I would yours! I love to smile and hear those precious giggles of children, and anything you needed done around the house or anything else, I can do! I always keep the option of you bringing your child to my home as well, I know how complicated some things can get. When I watch other peoples kids, I ALWAYS ask permission for EVERYTHING, and I would NEVER go against your wishes as a parent. I hope asking questions doesn’t bother you because I will ask a million and one. All I ask is that I can bring my little one with me. Thank you!

Hello! My name is Madison and I'm a recent graduate of the University of Tennessee. I married my long-term partner in May and am excited to spend the next several years working in childcare as I decide, prepare, and save for grad school. I have nannied for several families in the past, caring for children ranging from infancy to pre-teens. I also used to work as an overnight summer camp counselor. That being said, I am very comfortable caring for multiple children at a time. I am currently hoping to find a full-time nanny position with a kind, loving local family. I love children of all ages and the vibrant energy they bring. I'm an active individual and love to go on new adventures. I have recent CPR/AED/first-aid training, though it does need to be formally updated. I'm a native of Blount County, though I currently live in South Knoxville. I enjoy and am comfortable with driving, so a reasonable commute does not bother me. I am very familiar with the surrounding areas and love to provide new experiences for children in my care. I drive a Toyota RAV-4 SUV and carry a clean driving record. Safety is my utmost priority. I can provide recent academic, professional, and personal references. I also have a childcare resume with more details about my past experience. I am always open to furthering education, whether that be taking recommended classes or reading articles and books about your childrens' specific needs. I am comfortable and experienced working with children with varying disabilities as well. I'd love for you to consider me for any and all childcare tasks.
