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 am a recent college graduate with a degree in Sociology and a minor in History. Growing up as a middle child of six, I learned how to deal with both older and younger kids. I bring a calm, responsible personality along with my sense of humor. I love having a fun time while maintaining clear boundaries. I have experience with first aid from a class I took in college and my experience as a Resident Assistant gives me confidence that I'll be able to handle everyday and unexpected situations. I am available during the week and on weekends and strive to maintain a safe and positive environment.

I am Victoria, and I have been caring for kids for as long as I can remember. Even though I don't have any "technical" experience, I've been caring for the kids in my family since I was ten years old! I love kids, and I love watching and helping them grow. To be a part of a kids life is a blessing, and getting to do that as a job would be a blessing!! I am available 6am-4pm on weekdays and occasionally on the weekend if urgently needed. I am fun, caring, responsible, and reliable. Trust me, when I say I will not disappoint!
