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.

I'm from Brazil, I'm 53 years old and I live in US for 25 years. I don't have kids, but I love them. I worked for 2 years, for the Malouf family. I took care of 3 kids, 2 boys of 4 and 5 years old and a little girl of 2 yeras old and the half, that was their age when I started work with them. This job finished because the family had to move to Washington DC due a family matter. I am sure they will be more that happy to give references necessary. I also worked for Mrs Asha Conner , for about 4 month. I took care of her son of 2 years old. I got the opportunity to travel to Cancun, for 5 days to take care of the baby boy, while she was working. The job finished, because I have to move to Longview area. Mrs Conner also can give reference about me. I don't smoke and I exercise very often. I also speak 4 languages, my native language is Portuguese, and I also speak Spanish, Italian. And I am able to travel. Thanks! And I hope to meet you soon. Ps. I moved to US in June of 2000, soon I started work as a nanny. I worked for 3 years straight for the White's family, 3 kids, 2 girls and 1 baby boy. Unfortunately, this time we didn't have the social media yet or all the technology, that we have now. I am not in touch with so many people anymore, that I used to work in the past. I do have enough experience with the kiddos, and I love them.
