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.

As a responsible, empathetic, and patient babysitter in my 20s, I have 8 years of experience caring for children of all ages - from babies to grade-schoolers. I'm skilled at engaging kids through creative activities like drawing, reading, crafting, music, and games. I'm also comfortable with household tasks like cooking, chores, and even helping with homework. With my own car and driver's license, I'm flexible to provide care at your home. I have helped raise/care for my brother and two cousins, one of which I still provide overnight care for. When I was a teen i’d also babysit my parents friends kids. I'd love the opportunity to meet your family and discuss how I can support your childcare needs.

Howdy! My name is Lexi, and I absolutely love working with kids, it’s always come naturally to me. I’ve been babysitting for about 9 years, and I’ve also worked as a daycare teacher for over a year. I even taught fifth grade history and science! I’m CPR and First Aid certified for infants, children, and adults, so safety is always a top priority. Kids are such a joy to be around, watching them grow, learn, and laugh is the most rewarding part of what I do. I’m currently in college working toward my degree in education to become a kindergarten teacher. I actually graduated high school with a teaching certificate, so I’ve already been able to gain hands-on classroom experience. When I’m not teaching or babysitting, I love crafting, staying active, and baking up something sweet. I’d love the chance to bring some fun, creativity, and care to your family!
