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.

Hi, I am dakota I am 22, and I love babysitting newborns, and toddlers, but I can’t handle the older kids because I have a 8 year old sister and I can’t handle her screaming and yelling at the top of her lungs just because she doesn’t get her way every time! I love watching my nephew which is only 2 years old I am great with newborns and toddlers! I have had about 5 years of experience with newborns and toddlers!

I’ve always had a heart for children. My first job was being a babysitter at the age of 12. I have blessed to work as a nanny for a couple physicians as well. I have 3 daughters(19/17/12)myself and would love to be able to provide the care that you need for your child(ren) that is beneficial for the both of us. There is nothing more rewarding then to be entrusted with a child(ren) and to become part of the family.

I'm an energetic sitter with a genuine passion and love for kids (Hey, they are our future!). While new to professional child care, I have experience babysitting the neighborhood kids and my baby sister when I was growing up. As an adult, I myself have 4 children (3 boys & 1 girl) that I have raised as a single mother. I also have a nephew and 2 nieces that I have actively helped raise. I have experience babysitting friends' children as well. I love taking children away from their "screens" to the great outdoors for fun and engaging activities. I'm also willing to help with homework, after-school means, laundry, light household cleaning, and even running errands or taking kids to after school extra curricular activities (practice, ball games, karate class, etc). I am comfortable with all personalities and enjoy building true connections with kids. Please feel free to contact me @ (803) 899-3373.

My journey into childcare blossomed from my experiences as a recreational leader and educator. Interacting with children and families daily revealed the profound impact of a positive and engaging environment. Witnessing children's growth and enthusiasm firsthand solidified my commitment to fostering a stimulating and nurturing atmosphere where they can thrive. I'm a creative, friendly, and approachable caregiver with one year of experience caring for children aged 4-5. I'm comfortable caring for up to four children at a time. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, puzzles, and educational games that promote learning. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules and will always communicate with you using your preferred method. I have a car, am comfortable with pets, and hold current CPR and First Aid certifications. I look forward to bringing my passion for play and development into your home!

Hi! My name is Brianna and I love babysitting because I love to make a different in a kids life! Growing up I had lots of cousins & 5 siblings to hangout with, I just want to make sure every kid has the opportunity to be able to have fun! ❤️ I currently babysit a 2 year old full time, it would be easier if you could drop off your kidos! I also have a cat, he loves hanging with the kids as well!
