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.
