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.

My name is Iyanah and I am 21 years old from hawai’i. I’m currently taking a gap year from college in order to figure out what I want to do in the future. Child care and making a positive impact on the lives of children have always been something I loved❤️ As far a experience goes, I helped my single mom raise my siblings (I’m the oldest of 2 that live with me & 2 that come here from time to time!). Apart from my siblings, I usually babysit the kids in the neighborhood overnight while their parents go out for the weekend, or I do a bit of after school care☺️
