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.

I was very impressed with Markaila from the moment we met. She arrived at our house 15 mins early ready to watch not only my kids, but my friends kids as well. She did a great job of feeding the kids, cleaning up after the kids, and allowing them to play while she was there. She also got the younger ones (3 & 4 yr olds) to bed before we got home. She sent me text messages to let me know how the kids were doing well we were out. All-in-all we were very pleased of her level of care for our kids! Thanks for the great work!

Hey y'all! My name is Lilly and I’m 21 years old. Some things about myself, I love painting, baking, and swimming. I’m currently enrolled in college to become an art teacher for elementary school. I do classes online hence the open availability! I have 4 younger siblings, so I grew up changing diapers and babysitting. I go to a church and volunteer to take care of the children on Friday nights ages babies thru 15 years old. I used to babysit a 2 year old boy and 4 year old girl once in a while for my mom’s coworker until they moved. The reason I’m on here is because I love kids and currently unemployed due to not being able to stand on my feet for very long periods of time.

I have 15 years of child care experience, ranging from being a babysitter, to working in a gym daycare, to being a lead teacher at a preschool! I have taken the 40 hours of training & passed the competency exams required to work in a daycare. I am also certified in children's & infants first aid/CPR. I have a passion for cooking, and would be happy to work in some meal prepping, or cooking within the home. I can help with chores and cleaning as well. I have reliable transportation, am pet-friendly, and a non-smoker. I'm looking to have a set schedule full-time or part-time, and I can offer the possibility of helping with some date nights here and there! I'm a big fan of gentle parenting and Montessori teaching, but I'm happy to adapt to any house rules or personal preferences. I do have a fully vaccinated 2-year-old girl I'd be intending on bringing. She is gentle with babies, and friendly with other children. I look forward to hearing from you!
