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.

Q: How does a child care provider interact with my child?

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 name is Analise and I am currently a junior at a university in San Antonio. I love math, so much so that I’m pursuing a teaching certificate to be a math teacher along side a coach. Aside from school, I love playing and watching sports. I grew up playing soccer and enjoyed the sport so much that I am a soccer referee, but I also help an area youth soccer team in my free time. As far as family, I grew up with an older sister and younger brother in which we spent lots of time together having spa days, playing video games, playing board games/puzzles, watching our favorite shows, and playing outside with our dogs. I am also CPR and First Aid certified.
