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.

My name is Rachel Hillyer, I am 22 years old. I was born and raised in Houston,Tx. I’ve been nannying for about 6 years now and am looking for a full time nanny job at most 5 days a week. I am also open to occasional weekend gigs. I shortly worked at a daycare in Atascocita where I got my cpr certificate. I’ve babysat for families in the church growing up and I also come from a huge family with 40+ cousins, so as you can imagine I have experience there too. I can provide physical, emotional and intellectual growth and development, while maintaining a safe and nurturing environment and actively engaging the children in age-appropriate activities. I am interested in creating a relationship with the child and have great communication skills. I come with a calm and gentle approach, and the eagerness to begin working for you and your family:)

Currently getting my bachelors in teaching ( I have my associates). I worked almost a year at a daycare where I learned A LOT of hands on experience that a book would never be able to teach. I loved every second of working there, unfortunately there would be some scheduling conflicts with my school for the next semester. There's really no job more fulfilling for me than teaching and caring for kids. I am CPR certified till June, and plan on getting it renewed next year too.

Hi! I’m Audrianna. I’ve been caring for children since I was 12 years old and truly enjoy helping kids learn, play, and have fun in a safe environment. I started by caring for my niece and nephew while their mom was sick, and since then I’ve babysat for families throughout high school and spent three years serving in my church’s nursery caring for children under 3 years old. I’m patient, dependable, and love keeping kids engaged with games, crafts, reading, outdoor activities, and other age-appropriate fun. In my free time, I enjoy working out, reading, spending time outdoors, and hanging out with my pets. My goal is to make every child feel safe, happy, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind.
