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.

I love watching children, love to share their experiences and bond with them. I enjoy their discoveries and I love to read stories and make up ones too! They learn from watching us and from us helping them to explore their world! I will say my favorite thing is art and using things around the home to create!

Why do you love being a sitter? I truly enjoy being with children. Even though days can be busy, they’re full of joy and energy. Talking, playing, and being present with kids gives me a sense of purpose. As a mom to a grown son, I deeply value and miss those precious early years. What experience do you have? I worked at Siskin Early Childhood Center, where I cared for young children, including children with special needs. This experience strengthened my patience, understanding, and ability to support different needs. What skills and training do you have? I’m patient, attentive, and safety-focused. I completed CPR training while working at Siskin and am comfortable creating a calm, supportive, and engaging environment for children.
