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.

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

I am a full time nanny in Lutz, Fl. I drive the children to school in Clearwater and Tampa. I also run errands for the family, do light housekeeping and pet care. I was a full time nanny in Ramsey, NJ for 3 children ages 9,8 & 6 ( children were 2 1/2, 1 and 4 days old when I started with the family) for 6 1/2 years before moving to Florida. I was a preschool teacher for 14 years. I babysat on a regular basis for 5 different families so I have plenty of references upon your request. I have a laid back personality but believe in discipline and structure (and having lots of fun). I love to be silly and dance around but I am also someone your kids can count on and confide in. Looking forward to speaking with you!

I’ve previously worked at multiple daycares/preschools, typically floating between all age groups. The youngest I have worked with is 3 months and oldest is 11 years! I have watched 30 children alone so I am able to pay close attention, no matter the noise level and “distractions!” I’ve watched many family friends children in home/public settings as well! I am younger, so I feel my upbeat energy and personality allows kids to truly be themselves and having a positive impact on someone is what I strive for. I am CPR certified and have begun DCF training courses in hopes to get certified as a preschool teacher! I am also a full time student, attending University of West Florida, fully online, and my major is Psychology!

Hey everyone! I have been babysitting and nannying for as long as I can remember, I love kids. I have worked with newborns up to 14 years old, so I am very comfortable with all ages. I graduated from Florida State University in December with my Master of Science in Criminology. I have taught swimming and diving lessons so I am comfortable with kids doing all outdoor activities. Depending on the child’s age I like to read books, go outside, and play enriching games. I am a very interactive babysitter! I am vaccinated and I attend church regularly, so if that is something you are looking for, I offer that! I also have reliable transportation and a clean driving record! I can't wait to meet you and your little ones!
