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’m a full time First Responder (EMS), a nursing student, mother, wife and former nanny. I nannied for 7 years on a full time basis before having my own children. My children are teens and preteens, so they don’t need to come along. We made Vermont our home after my husband got out of the military. We love it here!! For the last 6 years I’ve been nannying for special events such as skiing, weddings and concerts. I’m looking for families who are coming to the area and need a responsible, reliable and trustworthy nanny. When I’m not working, I can be found hiking with my family, working on our small Homestead or gardening.
