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.

Hi there! My name is Maddy and I have been babysitting for about 8 years. I absolutely love working with kids and I am currently going to school to become an elementary school teacher! My most recent child care job was working at a daycare part time and I loved it so much! I have cared for ages 6 weeks to 12 years old but the younger kids definitely keep me on my toes, which I love. Overall my main priority is just making sure the kids I am caring for are safe and happy. I have always gotten along well with kids and usually they warm up to me quickly. I enjoy working with kids for so many reasons but my number one reason would have to be building relationships with them to where you’re like family to them. In the past I have done other tasks while watching the kids like cooking, cleaning, providing transportation for kids, organizing, and planning activities to do with the kids throughout the day. I have my certification in SBS, CPR, First Aid, and Assistant Childcare Teaching. I would love to get the chance to meet you and your family, thank you for taking the time to read this!:)

I love being able to watch children grow and learn. I was the oldest, so I grew up watching my younger siblings and babysitting for neighbors. I enjoy exploring their interests with them and helping them continue to grow and learn.
