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’m currently enrolled at Tennessee Tech University with a major in Psychology! I’d love to be a Child psychologist one day to help kids learn themselves and life! I’ve been working with kids since i was roughly 14/15. I was a gymnastics coach for ages 16 months-12 year olds, a babysitter for 2 kids, and I’m currently a swim instructor for kids ages 3-12! I also have been babysitting a family in my hometown since i was 16. I currently live in Cookeville for college and i go home about once a month for a weekend. My schedule is pretty flexible, especially friday's! I AM CPR and First aid certified. I love to take the kids exploring to the zoo, parks, movies, and even fun time outside in the backyard! I just enjoy the light kids have and their joy. :)

Hi! My name is Ryelee and I would love to be able to work for you to provide the best care possible for your child! I love kids and while I am not a mom yet I can't wait to have kids of my own. I have experience working with children from a young age. I have worked for a daycare in the past where I was responsible for multiple children in high stress situations and provided them with age appropriate activities and care. I really enjoyed working there and the only reason I was unable to continue was due to scheduling issues. Through working there I got a lot of training through programs that are mandated by the state of TN, so I have lots of relevant training. I do a lot with children now through my church and friends. I have lots of experience with children from infant age up to elementary school age. I love animals and would be able to help with any animal care as well. I am in college at Tennessee Tech University for a Bachelors Degree in Agribusiness. I love doing arts and crafts and planning fun adventures and games for kids to do. I host lots of kids events through my church currently and have really enjoyed doing so. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!

Since I was 12 years old, I’ve gained years of hands-on childcare experience through babysitting children of various ages. I’ve been responsible for creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment while supervising daily activities, preparing simple meals, helping with homework, organizing games and crafts, and maintaining routines such as bedtime and hygiene. Babysitting has strengthened my patience, communication, problem-solving, and time management skills, while teaching me how to adapt to each child’s unique personality and needs. Through these experiences, I’ve developed a strong sense of responsibility and a genuine passion for caring for and positively influencing children’s growth and well-being.
