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.

I am a reliable, caring babysitter of 8+ years looking for some little ones to care for. I have been around children my entire life and have worked the past 4 years as a nanny. While I have cared for newborns to pre-teens, I really love babysitting babies and toddlers. I am looking to get in some more weekend and evening work.

I have been watching children from newborns to tweens for several years now. Having attended boarding school for high school, I was constantly surrounded by young, busy families on campus who needed students' help to babysit their children, and I was often the person to do so. As I went off to college, I continued to babysit on the side of class for busy families in the neighborhood. I love spending time with children of any age and, due to my babysitting background, am very understanding of all families and their schedules.

Hi! My name is Hillary, and I have over 8 years of paid childcare experience along with being a proud mom of four children of my own. I currently work full-time at a daycare, where I care for children of various ages and developmental stages. I specialize in caring for infants through 18 months, as this is where my passion and experience truly shine, but I’m also very comfortable working with toddlers and preschool-aged children. I understand the importance of routines, safe sleep practices, developmental play, and providing a calm, loving environment. I’m a warm, fun, and nurturing caregiver who believes children thrive when they feel safe, understood, and encouraged. I’m currently looking for babysitting opportunities on the side, and I treat every child in my care with the same patience and attentiveness I give my own. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide dependable, high-quality care you can feel confident in.
