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.

My name is Rachel Hillyer, I am 22 years old. I was born and raised in Houston,Tx . I spent the past year living in San Marcos and have loved and enjoyed it but there’s nothing like home! I recently moved back this past week. I’ve been nannying for about 5 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’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:)

I'm a mother of seven who is now an empty nester and cares for my grandkids in my free time. If you can't tell, I love kids! I'm easygoing and love to enjoy the simple things in life. I'm trustworthy and dependable I also have a good and clean driving record. I'm very patient, playful, and creative! As a sensitive sitter who has worked with different ages of kids, the safety of the kids is my top priority. When I'm not caring for kids, I enjoy taking long walks at the park, cooking, and catering for parties. I spent several years volunteering in the kid's ministry at my church which gave me a wealth of experience with different personalities and how to create a safe and comfortable space for the kids to grow, learn, and have fun.

Hi I’m Bianca Davis a recent graduate of Howard University! I have been caring for children since I was about 14, from ages 2 months-16. I have a five year old nephew who I babysit all the time while my sister is at work, I take him outside and engage him in different learning activities so he can excel academically. I’ve volunteered with sick children at the Ronald McDonald House with my organization Lamar Ladies of Excellence while I was a senior in high school and I really enjoyed it. Over the Summer I worked as a camp counselor at the YMCA where I was responsible for children ages 5-15. I hope you would consider me for the job because I promise to be the best babysitter I can be to your children. Thanks for your consideration!

I have experience caring for children ranging from newborns to preteens, and I truly enjoy helping kids learn, play, and feel safe in their environment. In addition to being reliable and responsible, I have my own transportation, which allows me to be punctual and flexible with schedules. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, which can be helpful for families wanting to introduce their children to a second language. Parents who have worked with me describe me as caring, patient, and attentive. Whether it’s preparing snacks, or helping with homework, I always focus on making sure children are safe and happy.

I have over 7 years of hands-on childcare experience, I’ve had the joy of working with several wonderful families and children ranging from newborns to middle school-aged. In addition to my nanny work, I’ve served as an infant teacher at a preparatory academy, caring for little ones as young as six weeks old. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, with experience in early skill development, potty training, swim lessons, and helping children reach their developmental milestones. I currently provide care in my home for my own daughter and a sweet one-year-old girl on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My home is thoughtfully set up for little ones, featuring a gated Montessori-inspired play area with learning toys, a ball pit, playhouse, and kids’ table for family-style meals. I also have a cozy nursery with a crib, rocker, infant swing, bouncer, and play mat. I’m open to both drop-off and in-home care options, as well as assisting with household needs like light cleaning, laundry, and transportation. Childcare is truly something I love, and I’m always happy to share references and photos of my play and nursery spaces upon request.

Hello parents! I am an experienced nanny and I do babysitting on the side. I'm looking for babysitting jobs in the Humble/Kingwood/Atascocita areas. I have 5 families in the area that will be glad to give me a great reference in caring for their children. My CPR/First Aid is up to date and I have a clear background. I owned a nanny agency for several years so I know first hand what families are looking for in a caregiver. I have worked in the children's church and have had a home daycare in the past. I have good experience with all ages and love to play games and will provide lots of interaction with the children. I look forward to hearing from you.
