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.

I love kids and I've been babysitting since I was 12. I have experience with all ages, and even with children with developmental delays, autism, and ADHD. I love being hands on with the kids I watch and playing games, going outside, and doing activities. I was previously a nursing student but decided to pursue a degree in psychology instead, and my experience in both these fields has given me the opportunity to care for many individuals, and in multiple ways. I currently work as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) and support children with autism who struggle with maladaptive behaviors. I am looking for occasional work on the weekends and date night positions to supplement my other positions. Please reach out with any questions, I'd love to meet your family!
