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.

I have worked as PreK Teacher for the past 15 years. Covid summer I had a group of previous students who needed child care. We put together a summer camp and explored the mountains, creeks, and learned how to roller skate. When school started I continued with the virtual Kindergarten and her almost 3 year old brother. I have experience with PreK and Kindergarten. My experience working with virtual Kindergarten this past year has made me a stronger PreK Teacher. I am available for homeschooling for PreK and Kindergarten for the 2021/22 school year.
