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.

With a couple years of experience in childcare I have learned that what children need is to feel safe, protected, cared for seen and heard. It brings me joy to be able to care for little ones and allow them space to explore as they learn and grow. Children make the world go round and they are our future! It’s important to give them a strong foundation and support them as they grow. When I am not working with children, I run a small jewelry business from home. I enjoy being able to channel my creativity into quality products that customers can keep for a long time. I will begin university in fall of 2025 and plan to receive a bachelor’s in communications so a part-time job is just what I need.
