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 have been caring for children since the age of 12. Though I have been professionally caring for kids for the last 10 years as a private nanny. I have experience with kids between the ages of 2 months and 6 years old. I love being of service and adore caring for others. I am currently in school studying early childhood education and find so much joy applying that knowledge to my job as a caretaker. While I do dedicate an allocated amount of time on schooling, I am available to work full time and have easily found balance in that.

I’m currently a graduate student at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, pursuing my Doctorate in Occupational Therapy. I recently earned my bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from Texas A&M University. Growing up with seven nieces and nephews, I’ve always had a deep love for working with children. Over the years, I’ve gained a wide range of childcare experience—from being a teacher’s assistant for elementary students and babysitting during high school summers, to working at university-led summer camps with elementary-aged kids. During college, I also had the opportunity to volunteer in the special needs ministry at my church, which helped me develop even more patience, empathy, and understanding. I’m passionate about creating a safe, engaging, and fun environment for kids to grow and thrive. I’d love the opportunity to support your family however I can!
