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, I'm Sophia! I'm 24 years old. I absolutely love children and have been babysitting since I was 11 years old. My professional experience ranges from getting kids on and off the school bus, getting them ready for bed and getting them up in the morning, preparing snacks and meals for them, full-time and overnight care, etc. I have watched a super incredible 4 year old with Downs Syndrome and his 6 month old sister. I nannyed for an awesome 8 year old (whom I watched from ages 5-8) on the autism spectrum. I have also watched twins. Additionally, I have watched an infant with Downs Syndrome, and three siblings under the age of 10. I was a full-time nanny for 3 years for a wonderful infant into toddler stages. I myself also have younger siblings. I love children, and being able to have a positive impact on everyone's life. I do work another job 7-4:30pm, so nowadays I generally have late afternoon and evening/night availabilities, on weekdays (and weekends I am often available all day), so perfect for anyone looking for after-school care and date/self-care nights. Thanks and have a lovely day! :-)

Hello to all the new parents who are trying to navigate this very delicate journey of finding the right nanny for you child/ren!! As someone who has worked in child care and has been a parent (foster and adoptive) for over 20 years I completely understand how hard and emotion filled this can be. I hope that I am able to make this journey just a little easier! I have been working with young children since my teens as a babysitter, then as a teacher in several centers and as a nanny throughout college. For the past 22 years I have been working as a Director of various centers in NJ and VA (including my own for 13 years). My favorite age group is infants and toddlers, watching their growth and development day to day is just so amazing! I also love the the relationships I get to build with parents.
