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.

Hi!! My name is Kassidy! I am a 20 year old aspiring first grade teacher, currently employed at a daycare in El Dorado Hills. I have been babysitting since I was 10, and I have my CPR and First Aid training as-well as regular trainings through my job. My job also offers a free of cost apprenticeship program, which means I am taking a ECE college class a semester with a mentor and professor. I get constant on the job training and off the job training through the apprenticeship, and I am getting my associate teaching permit through this apprenticeship. I love kids, I currently work with 2-3 year olds but have experience with all ages. I have a kitty named Jasper, and I live on my own with my boyfriend. I am big on play and my school is a very child based school, meaning I am well trained on no yelling, no discouraging, and the use of gentle maneuvers to allow children the freedom to make their own choices safely. :)
