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. Child care providers go through an identity verification process Berbix when registering an account. Some additional safety measures include Family Watchdog screening, babysitter and nanny reviews, and secure messaging.

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.

Last-minute, school and tutoring, date nights—find the right babysitters for you.

Paola has been incredible for our family. She primarily watches my 1 year old son and occasionally my 6 year old daughter. Both kids love her. She’s interactive, makes up games, plays outside, etc. Paola has also been the most reliable nanny we’ve ever had - rarely calling out sick and gives plenty of notice for any requested days off. She handles meals with limited or no instruction and has helped us with potty training. We all love Paola!

Sophia took care of our 2 year old son daily until he got into preschool and helped with our infant as well. She was everything we wanted in a nanny: dependable, present, energetic yet calm, respectful, thorough, punctual, flexible, just lovely! We will definitely reach out to her for care in the future. Highly recommend.

AIDA O.

We’ve been incredibly lucky to have her care for our son since he was 5 months old. She is punctual, reliable, professional, and so loving and patient with him. She always kept him engaged by singing songs and caring for him like family, and she even helped with his laundry and folding clothes without ever being asked. She was also so flexible whenever we needed extra time or last-minute help. Truly anyone would be lucky to have her as a babysitter — our only complaint is that she’s so amazing, she’s always booked and hard to schedule!

Hello my name is Elsy! I’ve always loved working with children. I currently work at a school as an instructional aide! I've worked with grades 5th, 3rd, and Tk-Kinder, so I have experience with all ages! As an instructional aide I work in the classroom assisting the teacher and the students with hands on learning! I also do after school tutoring for ELA and math. I am CPR and First aide certified! I've gone through a background check and had to take multiple test and trainings to get this job, so I'm extremely qualified for this job. I have my own car/ auto insurance and a valid drivers license. I also speak Spanish. Some additional experience I have is providing care to children at a local church I used to volunteer at! I helped with the church nurse. Since I work at a school I get every break that the students get off. For example Winter break, Thanksgiving break, Summer break, Etc.. So let me know if that's also something you're looking for! What sets me apart is my way of learning, I’m always looking for new ways to teach children. New fun ways of teaching so it actually sticks to them in the future. Im super excited to meet your kiddos and help out! :) Feel free to message me with any questions you have!
