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’m actually a part-time worker at a preschool I have been for about two years. I’ve had to get CPR and first aid certified for my job. I have a good time there, but I’m normally working with 10+ kids at a time and think it would be nice to be able to focus on one or two for a change. At my job I regularly have to clean up so that wouldn’t be a problem for me at all. I’m also very open to having pets around since I grew up around them and have my own.

Hello all! My name is Toni Merlino. I'm a proud graduate of the Mary Baldwin Shakespeare and Performance graduate program and a true lover of teaching. My experience encompasses a wide array of different types of jobs, some include: part time babysitting, daycare worker, camp counselor, and the job that carries the bulk of my experience- teacher. I also have a great deal of experience working with children on the spectrum as well as children facing other unique challenges and exceptionalities. Learning is what makes me most passionate, and also what makes the world go around, so no matter what capacity I'm working in, I always try to include learning in the play that we're doing. I have found that my talents lie in the compassionate care of children and animals and I'm looking for work to fulfill those talents and give back the community I so love being a part of!
