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 a stay-at-home mom looking to earn a little extra income, with over 10 years of experience working with children from newborn through 13 years old. For the past 2 years, I’ve babysat with my son on-site, and we’ve loved the playdate-style rhythm it creates. It’s been a wonderful way for children to learn and socialize, and we’ve made many long-lasting friendships along the way. I like to encourage Montessori-inspired learning through child-led play, story time, and time spent outdoors.

Hi! I am the oldest of 5 kids so i have lots of experience in child care especially with my mother having been a single mom. I have a child of my own, he is 3 months old. He was in the nicu where they taught me car seat safety, cpr and other important things to know. I would love to be a sitter because i love caring for children and i could also take care of my child at the same time as well. I am a single mom so this would truly help!
