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’ve been babysitting since age 13 and now I work full-time with kiddos as a childcare teacher at the CP Center! Because the CP Center is inclusive, I’ve worked with children with ranging special needs from infancy to 5 years old. I’ve worked in all our childcare rooms from children 3 months to 7 years old. I love working with kids and seeing their different personalities and what interests them! I’m CPR and first aid certified, as well as background checked and fingerprinted by the state because I work in a daycare. I’m available weeknights except for Wednesdays and Thursdays and I have availability on the weekends.

My goal is to go to school to become an elementary school teacher and with that in mind, I want to get as much experience with children because every child is unique in their own way and I want to get some experience with children. So that when I do start school either next year or in 2027, i'll have enough experience with children to help become the best teacher I can be in the future. The experience I have is that i've watched a few of my relatives kids, at family gatherings I keep an eye on all the kids usually just to make sure they don't get in trouble, stay in sight, make sure the kids are playing fair, play and entertain kids to make sure they're not bored, and help them with things like grabbing them a plate and make a plate, guiding them to where they need to go/be, and speak up for them when needed. Some skills I have are: Problem-solving, creativity, patience and empathy, emotional awareness, positive mindset. I've babysat/watched a few babies,toddlers, kids from 5-10.

I am looking to babysit part or full time June 23rd-August 18th. I am available Monday-Friday 6 a.m. to 530 p.m. I am a special education teacher. Before teaching, I worked in daycare, mainly working with infants-1-year-olds and 3-year-olds. I have 2 children, a 3 and 2-year-old. Both boys. My husband and I will have been married for 5 years soon. I am originally from Green Bay but lived in Stevens Point for a few years and came back to work in the local school district. I adore children and have always enjoyed working with them. I like taking the kids outside, getting them dancing to music, and getting on their level to play. Because I have two children of my own, I would only be able to watch your child in my home. I am willing/able to accommodate 1-3 kids.
