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. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. Every child has their own personality and energy, and I find it really rewarding to connect with them, make them laugh, and be someone parents can rely on. I have 4 years of experience caring for children of various ages, from infants to preteens. I’ve worked with families through babysitting and daycare. My responsibilities have included meal prep, bedtime routines, homework help, organizing activities, and maintaining a safe and positive environment. I’m skilled at staying patient, calm, and organized — even when things get hectic. I’m also good at communication, problem-solving, and coming up with creative ways to keep kids engaged. I’m trained in CPR and First Aid, and I understand basic child safety and emergency procedures.

I started babysitting at the age of 9 years old and when I was 12 I took the babysitting course. Once I graduated high school I worked at a daycare center for a year and a half and then I got another full-time job and ended up watching my cousin’s kiddos after my full-time job for a few hours every night. In the meantime I ended up getting married to my husband (just celebrated 16 years in July) and went through years of infertility until we finally decided to adopt our 2 kiddos…our son is now 11 & our daughter is now 9. After my son was born I ended up being a stay at home mom and did childcare out of my house for the last 11 years.

Nurturing children's growth and development is a true passion of mine. My decade of experience caring for children aged newborn to 11 has equipped me with patience, creativity, and a friendly approach that children respond to. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children at a time. I communicate with parents using their preferred method, whether it's a quick chat at pickup or regular updates via text. Enforcing household rules is something I'm very comfortable with. I enjoy playing board games, puzzles, and educational games with children. I can also assist with cooking, light housekeeping, crafts, and swimming supervision. I hold certifications in First Aid Training, CPR Training, and am a Certified Nursing Assistant. I am eager to bring my skills and experience to your family, creating a safe and fun environment where your children can thrive. I look forward to hearing from you!
