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.

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them.

Hey my name is Krista I'm 19 and a college student I love taking care of kids, I love being able to play with them and their wild imaginations and all the hilarious things they say and do. I've babysat since I was 11 and have 8 little cousins I have taken care of and played with. I've babysat from 4 months till I believe 12. I have watched 12 kids with one person before and 4 of them were under 2. The chaos of kids sometimes doesn't bother me at all, I love it! I'm currently taking child development classes and I know ASL, I've taken 1-4. I can bake really well and am comfortable doing tasks around the house to help. I have my license and can drive kids no problem.
