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. Families can also request to see professional references! Our dedicated team also champions safety across our platform every day.

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.

I have always love working with children. I started babysitting early on as a teenager. It wasn't until after becoming a mother I knew I wanted to become a teacher. My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD as a child and struggled in school. During grade school many of my daughters teachers lacked the information needed to help her manage her ADHD in the classroom. I graduated in 2022 with an AA in Early Childhood Education and an AA in American Sign Language. I want to make a difference as a teacher and be a positive role model to all children. I am CPR and first aid certified.

Dani provided childcare support for me over a long weekend - helping to entertain and care for 8 children between the ages of 9 months and 5 years. She was incredibly personable, helpful and proactive, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for childcare. We traveled to Palm Springs with a few other families to celebrate my husband's 40th birthday and asked Dani to help care for the kids while the adults cooked and socialized. She had a great attitude and was very engaging with the kids - even bringing activities such as crafts supplies of her own.

AIDA O.

We’ve been incredibly lucky to have her care for our son since he was 5 months old. She is punctual, reliable, professional, and so loving and patient with him. She always kept him engaged by singing songs and caring for him like family, and she even helped with his laundry and folding clothes without ever being asked. She was also so flexible whenever we needed extra time or last-minute help. Truly anyone would be lucky to have her as a babysitter — our only complaint is that she’s so amazing, she’s always booked and hard to schedule!
