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.

Are you open to adding a pseudo-grandmother to your family? I care for children as if they were my own and hope to build relationships that last. Since my husband passed from Alzheimer’s, I’ve channeled my energy and purpose into caregiving—work that brings me genuine joy. With infants and toddlers, I provide nurturing, attentive care, newborn experience, and my own baby sling, Ergobaby carrier, and stroller. I’m experienced with potty training and provide written daily summaries covering feeding, sleep, and developmental milestones. For preschool and elementary children, I use age-appropriate checklists, hands-on kits, musical instruments, and learning tools to support motor skills, cognition, speech, self-care, and social/emotional growth. I also incorporate structured learning apps such as ABCMouse, Khan Academy Kids, and Teach Your Monster. For older children, I serve as a calm, reliable parental proxy—supporting homework, chores, reading, mindfulness, and life skills while reinforcing character through positive guidance. I have experience with ADHD, developmental delays, physical impairments, food aversions, and neurodivergent children. I’m a light-hearted, energetic, and dependable 62-year-old, calm in a crisis and trained to respond to medical emergencies. I value limited screen time, good nutrition, strong routines, and active learning. I’m seeking a non-smoking family that values kindness, empathy, education, and discretion. If we seem aligned, please request my electronic portfolio, which includes my work history and five written references.

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!
