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.

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.

Stephanie S.

Ms. Jay has been with us since February 2019, and we hope to have her for a very long time. She has been the best nanny we have ever had. She is dependable, punctual, and very caring for our children. We have two children, 6 months and almost 4 years old. My older daughter asks for her when I am here. She loves her dearly. In the time that she has been with us, she has started to teach our children Spanish. My daughter knows a few words and her numbers in Spanish. She also goes over my daughters preschool workbooks to help her with writing and words. Not only does she care for our children, but she is always helping around the house. When I come home from work, it is way less stress. She works with us part time.

Hello! My name is Amelia "Milly" Jackson, and I am an incoming Tulsa Law student. I'll begin classes in August of 2025 and am looking for families who need the occasional sitter. From a large family of 10 kids, I have experience with not only watching my younger sibling but also church nurseries.

My schedule for my first year at law school is likely to be hectic, but if you need weekend or evening help, I would love to speak with you!
