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’m a recent college undergraduate with a BA in Psychology and minor in Recreational Management. I love making work fun and while I have 2 years of paid experience, I am a daughter of 5 children so I am very used to taking care of a big family and spending time with kids. I also have lots of tutoring and classroom experience, so I am confident in my scheduling, planning, and teaching abilities. Along with kids, I am very open and happy to take care of pets including walking, feeding, and cleaning up after them. I am skilled in diaper changing, doing active activities with children like riding bikes, and am very receptive to any specific ways you like to keep your home tidy or organized; I understand a clean home is important for maintaining good mental health! I also have my own car and am very patient and good at creating a safe and comfortable space for children. I’m very adaptable and open to conversation so feel free to contact me for a phone call, zoom, or for my past references’ contact information to see if I am the right fit for you and your family!
