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.

I’m moving back to the Appleton area after spending a year in Madison! I like spending time at the park, bike rides, and attempting to draw. I started babysitting when I was 11 or 12, so it’s been a while. I’ll have a part time job at Athleta and am looking for something else to go along with that! While in Madison I was an assistant manager at Banana Republic.

Hi! My name is Kaitie I am 31 years old. I have been babysitting for family and friends for the past 17 years and I absolutely love the experience. I have 6 nieces and 3 nephews and I love being ”the cool aunt”… not having children of my own I have more than enough time to hang out with them!😊 I worked at Tri Manor Ltd, it was an assisted living home from 2010-2018, until they sadly closed. I enjoy taking care of people and being someone they feel comfortable around. I am also a kitty owner and love animals as well. I do not mind housework and I’d be happy to provide references as well as meet or chat on the phone. Looking forward to hearing from you and I wish you the best of luck with your search!
