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! My name is Chloe, I am 18 years old and I am a full time college student at Tyler Junior College. I grew up in a Family with a lot of children so I’ve always loved children. I am the second oldest child and I have 6 younger siblings. Their ages range from 16-2 years old. The 2 year olds are twin boys and I have experience with watching them quite often and my other younger siblings. I am new here, so I don’t have any other experience than that. But I love children and am always willing to help. I enjoy doing activities with kids and also teaching them new things. I am very trustworthy and am very kind and I hope I can help any family that needs it!
