Sitter | noun
sit·ter | 'si-tər
A sitter is an experienced, caring in‑home childcare provider—trusted to support families when parents are unavailable or busy. At Bell Family Company, a sitter offers flexible, on‑demand care: whether booked months in advance or at the last minute, for a single evening or recurring days. Typical responsibilities range from preparing snacks, engaging children in play, handling morning and bedtime routines, helping with homework, or even taking kids to the park, museum, or teaching them a new song or dance. Families simply share their needs, and Bell Family finds the perfect fit to deliver nurturing support in-home.

Nanny | noun
nan·ny | 'na-nē
A nanny is a professional, long-term caregiver who becomes an integral part of a family’s daily life. Unlike occasional sitters, nannies provide consistent, structured support—often on a full-time or part-time schedule—helping to raise children with attentiveness, warmth, and developmental insight. Nannies serve as trusted partners to parents—supporting not just the children, but the household’s rhythm, stability, and overall well-being. Whether for a newborn, toddler, or school-age child, a Bell Family nanny offers experience, reliability, and a deep sense of care.
What Is A Bell Family Nanny?
A Bell Family Nanny is far more than a sitter — they are a consistent, professional caregiver who works 15 hours a week or more and becomes an integral part of your family’s support system.
Our nannies are deeply invested in the growth and development of the children they care for. With their nurturing presence, dependable routine, and proactive support, many families say it feels like their nanny becomes a natural extension of their home.
How Can A Nanny Support Your Family?
- Provide personalized care and structure throughout the day
- Prepare nutritious meals and snacks
- Manage school drop-offs, pickups, and extracurricular logistics
- Engage children in enriching, age-appropriate activities
- Assist with homework and developmental learning
- Support household organization and light chores
Thoughtful Childcare Matching — Never Left to Chance
At Bell Family Company, our placement team goes beyond surface-level logistics. We thoughtfully match each family with a childcare provider based on the individual developmental needs of their child — not just availability, hours, or location.
