Q: How do families hire trustworthy child care providers in {{city}}, {{state}}?

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.

Hi! Thanks for stopping by! I'm a dynamic veteran mom with a lot of crazy and awesome nieces and nephews. I'm a professional psychologist, but left the workforce to care for my kids. I have a soft spot for energetic kids, especially those who march to their own beat. My favorite G rated movies are the Croods and Willy Wonka. I also love mountain biking and spending time in nature. Art and communication are very important to me, so I incorporate that into most of my babysitting interactions. Send me a message and let's see if we're a fit! 😊
