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. Wherever your child's interests lie, child care providers on Sittercity can engage them in a nurturing way.

Hi I’m Jordan. I’m fun loving, reliable, and trustworthy. I have a big family, 6 other siblings, one of which is 11.5 years younger than me so I’ve got over 10 years of experience watching her. I’ve also babysat numerous times and helped out in the Sunday school of old my church. I’m very open to any of your suggestions. I think playing outside rocks but know how to have fun inside too. I’m pretty good at math and English so I can help your kids out with homework. I’m a pretty good cook and don’t mind whipping something up at all. I don’t mind cleaning either. Like I said I’m open to your suggestions so don’t hesitate to send me a message:)

Although being new to professional childcare, I have much experience and truly enjoy caring for others. I’m an older sister of 3 younger siblings who are all now teenagers that never want to hangout with their older sister, but I’ve always loved helping with those younger than myself. From babysitting newborns to helping raise my younger sisters, and even watching my special needs cousin, I’ve had experience in every age group. I have my own car, can assist with cleaning, homework help, afterschool care, animal care, and much more. I have immense patience for someone my age and I am ready to help! I am currently in high school and college classes but they are online and have a pretty flexible schedule.
