Q: How do families hire trustworthy child care providers in {{city}}, {{state}}?

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 began my career in childcare during high school. While in school, I took parenting, nutrition, and child services courses. After high school, I worked in childcare settings, which led me to my current position. I currently work at a daycare in Clarksville, Tennessee, where I have received CPR and first aid training. I love and enjoy engaging in creative crafts, playing games, learning activities, and singing and dancing to music with children. In my free time, I enjoy turfing, skating, cooking, and baking. I also enjoy spending time with my husband and son. I am excited about the opportunity to care for and show my creativity and love to your families. I am confident that I will be a great fit for ensuring that your little ones have a wonderful time learning, exploring, and having fun.

I live in Ashland City. I worked as a special education teacher for ten years, but left to stay at home with my 2 year old daughter. Times being what they are I am looking to supplement some income and have playmates for my girl. My daughter enjoys going places and being around a variety of ages. She also loves cats and dogs. I am willing to watch out of my home or commute to someone’s home as needed. I have a van so transporting is not a problem.

I really enjoy caregiving for children because making the connections with the children and the families mean a lot to me. I have been babysitting for nearly 3 years now, I’m currently a preschool teacher and a part-time nanny. With having those jobs I have experience in driving children to their activities, light meal prepping and light housekeeping. I am a people person so getting to build strong relationships with families is important to me. Watching children learn and grow is also my favorite thing. The progress they make no matter how big or small is truly amazing to watch.
