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. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

Hi, my names Makayla, and i live in Tyler, Tx I am 20 years. I’ve had a steady job with a baby that’s grown from 1 month old to 5 years old but i’m not able to work the same hours as she is now starting school. I have six years experience ranging from toddlers to teens. My experience as a nanny has been very rewarding. I have had the opportunity to care for children of various ages and backgrounds, each with their own unique personalities and needs. Building a strong rapport with the children and their families has been a key aspect of my role as a nanny, as it has allowed me to provide the best possible care and support. Through activities such as helping with cooking family meals, homework, engaging in creative play, and providing emotional support.
