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.

Don’t have any children myself but I enjoy children and caring for them. Energetic and wanting to create fun activities for my kids, but willing to follow our schedule. Has or is able to respect our values as parents and people (feminist, respectful, etc). We had a nanny who told our baby boys didn’t fold laundry. Self-sufficient and reliant, does not want or need a lot of focused guidance. This one is might be unpopular, but: willing to tidy our house, do laundry, and light cleaning. We pay commensurately. We are both working a lot and I really want to spend my downtime with my kids rather than trying to keep the house going. If someone is going to let my kids play independently or even give them a bit of screen time I would rather it be the nanny than me. We do pay for more intensive cleaning every week or two weeks, but when there are kids at home the tidying and housework is constant.en myself but
