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. Babysitters and nannies have the option to complete regular background checks, and you can easily request a recent background check if they don’t have one or it is not recent.

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.

Q: How does a child care provider interact with my child?

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

Hi! My name is Evelyn, and I truly love working with children and helping families feel supported and cared for. I enjoy being a sitter because I get to be part of a child’s growth, imagination, and joy—it’s so rewarding to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where they can thrive. I have several years of experience working with children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I also have 3 years of experience working with children with special needs, which has taught me how to adapt to different abilities with patience, understanding, and creativity. Before nannying, I worked as a paraeducator, supporting children in both home and classroom settings. I’m trained in first aid and CPR, and I’m confident handling routines such as meal prep, bedtime, homework help, and creative play. I always bring a calm, positive energy and love to plan activities that keep kids engaged and happy while giving parents peace of mind.

Hi, My name is Kylie P. I am a 21-year-old college student. I started babysitting when my three nieces were born. They are crazy but I managed to handle. I work/intern at a PT clinic in Anaheim Hills. When patients bring in their kids with them, I'm usually the one playing with them while parents get treatment. I also have worked as a caregiver at a retirement home so I know the basics of babies because an elder can act like one. CPR & BLS certified by American Heart Association.
