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.

I want to be a sitter because I genuinely enjoy helping families and supporting children of all ages. I have about 7 years of experience working with kids. This includes a year at a daycare, and a year as a full-time nanny. I am currently working at a middle school in special education, primarily with behavioral students. These experiences have taught me patience and how to adapt to each kid’s individual needs. I am CRP & first-aid certified. I love creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids can feel valued and grow.
