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.

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.

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them.

Good Day, I have been a Mother for 36 years to 4 wonderful Sons. Recently, became a Grandmother to 4 Beautiful Grandchildren. After Babysitting for my Grandchildren, I have decided to become a Caregiver to children after working in Healthcare for the past 15 years. I find so much joy in taking care of children - I do constructive teaching to help children learn a new adventure everyday. This does pave the way for learning. Story telling, identifying objects and shapes colors, numbers, coloring, songs, music listening, etc. You will let me know if your child has any food allergies or if any medication is to be administered on a daily basis. Character References are available. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns that you may have. Also available for Occasion Help Sincerely, Camille
