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

I love being a sitter because being around kids makes me happy and just engaging with them always puts a smile on my face. Growing up I’ve always been the one to take care of my nieces and nephews. I’ve always worked at a middle school, so I would look after them, help with their homework, do some activities outside and even fun projects in the classrooms.

I truly love working with children because every day is a new adventure! I enjoy creating a fun and safe environment where kids feel free to explore, be creative, and just be themselves. Seeing their imaginations come to life and being part of their growth brings me so much joy. I’ve been caring for children since I was 10 years old, from infants to pre-teens. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, or bedtime routines, I always bring patience and positivity to every family I work with. I’ve also volunteered with pet care and adoption events, showing my love for both kids and animals! I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I’ve completed child development courses that help me better understand the needs of children at every age. I’m dependable, have my own reliable car, and I’m known for building strong, engaging bonds with every child I meet. I’m always calm, caring, and ready to teach them something new, while making sure they’re having fun too! I also have my food handlers card so preparing food is not problem

Hello! I am currently a mommy helper for a lovely family of 3 kiddos. I am attending school in hopes of becoming a teacher in the near future. I love being able to interact with children and see them become their own little person while also allowing parents to have a piece of mind that their children are safe while they work.
