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.

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 usually don’t have sitters other than family but that has changed since we met Lexie. I totally felt comfortable with her. My granddaughter keeps asking when is Lexie coming back. I think it says a lot when kids ask if a sitter is coming back.

Stephanie is awesome! We had never had our kids (1 yr and 7 yrs) taken care of by someone else besides grandma and grandpa, and they quickly adapted to Stephanie. She was very attentive, patient, and friendly with them, and had them experiment with different educational projects both indoors and outdoors. Our kids had a lot of fun and enjoyed Stephanie caring for them. Thank you Stephanie!

My name is Emily, and I am 22 years old. I am a Christian woman who is looking for the opportunity to work with a wonderful family that could use an extra helping hand. Caring for children has always been something I genuinely love, and I would be honored to become someone your family can trust and rely on. I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old and have experience caring for children ranging from 5months to 13 years old. Over the years, I've learned how important it is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can grow, learn, and simply enjoy being kids. In addition to my childcare experience, I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and hold a current Basic Life Support (BLS) certification. My medical background has taught me to stay calm under pressure, prioritize safety, and provide compassionate care in every situation.

Emily has been so amazing with our twin toddlers since they were under a year old. She has always taken great care of them and it has given me so much peace of mind knowing they’re well taken care of. She is responsible, punctual and so sweet and caring with my babies as well as my older two. If we lived closer, I would love to have her as our full time nanny in a heart-beat.

i’m a freshman pre-nursing student with several years of experience babysitting children and my family and neighborhood. I’ve always enjoyed spending time with kids and getting to know their different personalities. Whether we’re playing games, doing crafts, working on homework, or just following their usual routine, I like making sure they feel comfortable and have a good time. My experienced caring for children has also taught me how important communication and safety are, which is something I take seriously. I’m CPR and first aid trained, and I’m excited to continue gaining experience working with children while helping families who need a reliable sitter. I love the opportunity to get to know your family and make babysitting of fun and positive experience for your little ones.
