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 42 yrs old, I grew up with a younger brother and sister so I babysat a lot. I have babysat my whole life for friends, family, through Care.com and was with a Nanny agency. I really enjoy seeing children learn/master something, seeing something through their eyes am NOT a sitter who just sits on the couch. The scariest thing that has ever happened to me happened while I was in charge of a three yr old, she choked!! I was able to do the Heimlich maneuver and she was ok. I believe this shows I'm good under pressure. I have been CPR certified twice in the past and if it's something you'd prefer, I can again. *Honestly I never know what to write in here so if you think I might be a good fit please contact me*

Although I never was a registered babysitter, I have babysat and taken care of three or four children at a time within my family. I was a nanny for my sister Leah and her three children when I was 14 for a whole summer in between academic school years, for example. I did work at a daycare - Little Dumplings Early Learning Center- for the summer and I absolutely enjoyed every second. I worked with ages 6 months-3 years primarily and I love that age because I see so much personality development and growth at those ages. It is an extremely rewarding job knowing I help not only the kids with every day activities, but that I also help the parents. I know life can get very hectic and not working isn’t an option. I think that taking care of children is a great gift to people like me who want to work with children when they get older. It is great practice as I always learn many new things, and again as I said before, it is incredibly rewarding watching and helping little children grow into toddlerhood then preschool age and so on. I am CPR and choking certified.

I am a 37 year old ELA teacher with a passion for childcare and watching children learn and grow outside of the classroom (I have been babysitting since I was 10 years old). Summer is the perfect time to explore new and creative learning opportunities that are fun for all children. I do have an 11 year old son, so I am well-versed in various positive outlets that do not revolve around technology and are more discovery-based active learning activities. I love being outside, active, and fun. I am First Aid and CPR certified, and I have a valid driver's license if kiddos have sports or other activities to get to.

With 6 years of experience in child care, I'm all about having fun while helping kids learn and grow. I also grew up helping care for children as my mom ran an in home daycare. I love getting creative with activities, whether crafting, playing games, or tackling school projects. When I'm not caring for kids, I’m a self employed hairstylist where I pour my creativity and attention to detail into every client. I'm excited to combine my love for kids and creativity in a part-time babysitting role, making sure your little ones have a great time while learning and exploring.
