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.

Q: How does a child care provider interact with my child?

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them.

Hi, my name is Alison! I love working with kids and have many years of experience caring for children of all ages. I started babysitting my younger cousins when I was just 7 years old, and since then I’ve worked in multiple childcare settings including the Boys & Girls Club, nannying for families, and most recently teaching. This past year, I worked at Chiemsee Castle as a lead teacher, primarily with 3-year-olds but also with children ranging from 5 months to 6 years old depending on classroom needs. I wrote and implemented lesson plans for my class that included science, sensory, engineering, math, writing, and art, making learning both fun and engaging for young children while supporting their development in multiple areas. For the past three years, I have also nannied for the Boeing/Keller family, caring for three children (now ages 4, 6, and 8). My responsibilities have included preparing meals, managing bedtime routines, diaper changes, fun excursions, and household chores. I’ve supported the 6-year-old with speech therapy practice and worked closely with the oldest child on emotional regulation and behavioral challenges. This family lives in the fox valley area however, and I am currently looking for work near Stevens Point. I am very hands-on and love to play—whether it’s hide and seek, make-believe, water balloon fights, or simply reading and relaxing together. I enjoy being both active and creative with kids. I’m also happy to help with driving, cooking, housework, and other tasks as needed. I would love the chance to get to know your family and provide dependable, caring support for your children!

I’m an extroverted and social sitter! As someone who comes from a larger family, babysitting was a must. In high school I used to volunteer to teach younger girls how to dance. This had sparked the love for working with kids! Though with no “actual” experience I felt this seemed like a good part-time gig. That being said I’d be happy to connect with kids and have fun with any personality.
