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.

I love working and interacting with kids and being a positive influence for them. I always make sure we have an activity to do and am good under pressure. I have experience as a long term nanny and have worked 14-16 hour babysitting jobs. I have experience with kids with allergies, ADHD, sight impairment, and hard of hearing. I always make sure to prioritize developmentally appropriate activities and learning through play. Along with following the guidelines/rules set by parents, I prioritize limited screen time and being involved with the kids in various activities. I hope to hear from you!

My name is Leslie and I have been babysitting for approximately 5 years. I love working with people, especially children. My favorite age range is infant to around 5 years of age. However, with this being said, I acknowledge that all children’s personalities are different and that no matter what age they are, they still have beautiful, unique aspects. Like previously mentioned, I love socializing, with humans and animals alike.
