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.

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.

Hi, my name is Brilla, but I tend to go by Bri! I've worked with children ages 1-12 for about 5 years now and I truly love it.

Hi I’m Ileen and I’m a recent UC Davis graduate! I have been caring for children for about 6 years now as a babysitter and for 23 years as the oldest of three siblings. I love spending time with children and deeply feel that I connect with them really well. Plus, I’m an excellent player at Hide n’ Seek! With past families, I’ve helped out with homework and schoolwork, taken kids out to play at the park, cooked easy meals, performed light housekeeping, and arranged some arts and crafts projects for the kids. And if they’re well behaved, I occasionally treat them to some ice cream! When I’m not in school or babysitting, I love exploring good food places with friends and reading new adult novels. I'd love the opportunity to get to know you and your family!
