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. Babysitters and nannies have the option to complete regular background checks, and you can easily request a recent background check if they don’t have one or it is not recent.

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.

Hello! I’m Amy, a single mom of two children ages 7 and 4. The seven year-old is in first grade and the four-year-old is in 4K full-time. I also have availability on some evenings and weekends. I’ve previously been employed as a licensed to funeral director the last 15 years. I took a step away from the industry to allow for more time with my own family. As mom of two young children, I am aware of how hectic life can be! My hopes are to find a family I can assist and make life easier for. I’m open to helping in anyway I can and I’m excited to meet your family!

Hello! I would love to tell you a little about myself. Im from a family of seven children, and love spending time with them. I grew up becoming a big sister of four boys at the age of 15, and loved the time I got with them. They taught me about sacrifice, love, responsibility, and the joys of the world thought a little ones eyes. Let’s fast forward so you can get to know me a little. I’m currently in school perusing my degree in the health field. I’m highly involved in nutrition and health, and dedicate my time to exercise and healthy creative cooking. My family lives close so I also spend a lot of time with them. Iv had about 4 years of care taking, it fell right into place with my love for family and children. I would love to answer any questions regarding my experience. I hope this gives you a little insight on myself! Can’t wait to find a good fit. Also, I’m located in the heart of Cedarburg.

I absolutely love being a sitter. I’ve always had a natural connection with kids, and caring for them brings me a lot of joy. I’ve been around children my entire life, whether it was helping raise younger siblings and cousins, babysitting for family friends, or working with kids through volunteer opportunities. Being part of their daily routines, helping them learn new things, and watching them grow is something I love. I have experience with children of all ages, from infants to preteens, and I’m comfortable with everything from diaper changes to homework help and bedtime routines. I’m trained in CPR and basic first aid, and I always prioritize creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment for the kids I care for.
