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.

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.
