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 am currently in college as a nursing student, my dream is to one day specialize as either a NICU nurse or a flight nurse. I'm deeply passionate about providing care and having a safe and comfortable environment for the families i work for. My friends describe me as a very open and bubbly person, which I believe is a real asset when working with children and their families, helping to ease their worries and build that trust. Though I'm proud to be CPR certified, I sincerely hope I'll never have to use that skill, but I'm ready to act if needed.

Before my daughter was born, I was a special education teacher at a little school in a small rural town in northern California. As a special education teacher, I worked with children from preschool to the 10th grade. I worked as a special education teacher for 7 years. Before becoming a credentialed teacher, I worked in a multi-age preschool serving children from infant to 5 with most of my time devoted to infants and 2 year olds. I have also worked with a local family as a nanny for the last three years. As of next fall, both of my children will have entered school which gives me the opportunity to work with new children and families. I would like to find a family whom I can work with in helping to care for their child(ren) and develop a strong nurturing relationship. I hope to connect with a family where I can make a multi-year connection. I would like to get to know your child(ren) and help them grow and thrive as the wonderful individuals they are. We are a vaccinated family.

Margarita/Mags here! As far as credentials go I have 10+ years of experience. As a child I cared for my younger sibling then went on to babysit for family friends in my adolescent and teen years. I am 32 years old and I have a child of my own, my son is 7 years old. Majority of my career, I have worked in healthcare and have lots of experience with caring for children. I am comfortable with children of all ages and intellectual capacity. I am currently working as an RBT with kids who have autism and/or intellectual/physical disabilities. I have my own vehicle no criminal background and a clean driving record. Qualities about me that make me the ideal person to care for your children are: I am responsible, honest, patient, caring, loving, warm and have lots of compassion to give. I enjoy the outdoors but also love crafting, board games and animals. I enjoy doing activities with children that stimulate their brain and get their imagination flowing. I am happy to assist in potty training, preparing snacks or meals (I love to cook), nap time, laundry and picking up/dropping off to and from appointments and/or summer programs or sports. I am looking to bring the right family the relief and support they need and deserve. As a mother I understand how difficult it is to juggle all of life's tasks, even more so while raising a child.

Hello! I'm Emily. I have almost 5 years of experience working with children. I also have an 8 month old who I love with my whole heart. I love taking care of kids and watching their faces light up when having fun or learning something new. I'm always willing to improve my childcare skills. If it is okay I would like to bring my daughter with me while I babysit (this won't affect the care for your child). I have the most experience with infants and toddlers, but am willing to babysit older children. I can't wait to meet you and your family and hopefully help make your like a little bit easier and less worrisome. Edit
