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.

Hi there ! I’m super excited to get to know some families in need of child care . As an empty nester momma of one daughter who is now 21 ! I am really hoping to get to meet and help families and children in the area while also helping myself ! I love kids and since working in a local factory instead of human services which is my background, I’ve really been lacking in purpose . My hope is to quench the he need to connect with and hopefully lend my talents and experience to children and families who need a little extra help .

I am a full time nanny to two amazing girls ages 1 and 2. I am looking to add another child aged 0-3yrs old to our crew. I love children. I spent 15 years teaching children's theater with ShenanArts and the last year as a lead teacher at Bears and Blankets Academy of Early Learning. I love nurturing children’s personalities and focusing their energies in positive, constructive ways. I think it is vital to help them develop into well rounded, respectful, fun people. I began babysitting over 20 years ago. I'm told my energy draws children to me, perhaps because I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I adore sharing my love of crafting, singing, dancing, playing, reading and fun with life's perfect little sponges — you will never find me on my phone or your children staring at screens. Most importantly, your children will know they are safe, loved and cared for. VA license and newer vehicle. Non-smoker. Certified in Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED
