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.

Hey there! I’m Bianca, and I would love to watch your child(ren) whenever you need! I do great with kids of all ages since I raised my younger siblings myself. I have a son as well (2 years currently) so I’m looking for some extra money while I can still care for my child as I would yours! I love to smile and hear those precious giggles of children, and anything you needed done around the house or anything else, I can do! I always keep the option of you bringing your child to my home as well, I know how complicated some things can get. When I watch other peoples kids, I ALWAYS ask permission for EVERYTHING, and I would NEVER go against your wishes as a parent. I hope asking questions doesn’t bother you because I will ask a million and one. All I ask is that I can bring my little one with me. Thank you!
