Q: How do families hire trustworthy child care providers in {{city}}, {{state}}?

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.

I can cook and keep the house tidy. I entertain children and am willing to drive them places so we can have fun! I enjoy playing outside with kids and do crafts on rainy days. I always give timeouts of some sort if the child is misbehaving. I like to stay in contact with the parent and know their rules.

I’m graduating in May with a degree in psychology and criminology, and while I don’t have official childcare experience, I’ve spent years babysitting my younger nieces. I’m comfortable with kids, responsible, and always make sure they’re safe and having fun. My studies have also helped me understand child development and behavior, which I think is a big plus when it comes to caregiving. I’m also happy to get CPR and First Aid certified if needed—safety is really important to me, and I want you to feel confident leaving your child in good hands.

I'm a freshman in college at Fairmont State University and currently studying to become an architect. From middle school I would watch over my neighbor and her newborn baby and help her clean around the house. She didn't start paying me until high school however which I didn't mind. I genuinely loved taking care of her kids, I would help them with homework and hobbies, even wore them out with playing outside or with games like just dance before nap time.
