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 have experience with toddlers all the way to age 13! As well as four large dogs. I was recently cpr and first aid certified. I like to keep the kids entertained and always having fun! Going outside, coloring, playing. I have a dependable car. The family I worked with was for about a year just until they didn’t need a nanny anymore. Working with kids has always just been something I love to do. Being 22 it makes it easier keeping up with younger kids. I currently have two little girls of my own! A 7 month old and a 1 year old!! I’m also employed at a daycare!
