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.

Hi there! I’m Mackenzie, or Kenzie I’m a 25 y/o sitter who loves being around kids pets, and families! Babysitting lets me tap into that family side of myself, it feels rewarding to take on real responsibility and build genuine connections with the kids I care for. I’ve babysat for kids ages 2, 3, 8, 12, and 19, while taking care of heavy duty farm chore, house chore, or even just 1 on 1 time. I’ve also spent several summers as a camp counselor. I’m CPR and First Aid certified with training in youth and mental health, so safety and kindness always come first. I connect easily with kids because I feel very in tune with the artsy ,playful, whimsical spark of myself! I love making things fun, keeping good energy flowing, and helping create a positive and understanding space for them. I also make killer meals, playing good music, keep things tidy.
