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.

Hi! I have grown up in East TN, have worked with kids since I was able to hold them, and have loved every second! I live in Lenoir City with my husband and my dog, and I'm looking for a part time to full time job over the next several months. I am an adventure guide in the warmer months up in the Smokies, so I will be going back to that in late spring, but will be available until then! I have worked with all ages of kids in many different environments, such as Sunday school/VBS, camp counselor, summer school, coaching soccer, camps at a climbing gym, outdoor adventures and guiding, and at home babysitting. I love getting to know children and learn about what makes them unique as a person, help them learn and grow, and have fun while doing it!

Hello everyone! I grew up watching my younger brothers and all the neighborhood kids during the summer. As I got older, I engaged in my local YMCA and other summer camps as a lifeguard and camp counselor along with babysitting for church family’s.Recently I worked a season teaching younger kids (3-9) how to ski and navigate the mountain. I also assisted in organizing the kids' program at a guests ranch for two years. I am CPR and wilderness first aid certified. Although my lifeguard certification is expired, I am comfortable around water and helping kids building confidence in the water! I am attending CSCC this fall for agribusiness. I got married in October 2025 and enjoy hiking, paddle boarding, making crafts and baking ( mostly sweet treats and bread). I am pretty open to most things and think kids should just be kids as long as they should be.
