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.

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

We had the absolute pleasure to work with Ms. Joy over the past 8 months while living in Florida and she has been amazing. Our family is moving so we have to say good-bye but we highly recommend Joy for any family looking for an occasional sitter. She was very fast and thorough during the interview process, had no problem with the background check and meeting in-person for the interview. Our two children immediately took to Joy and she built such amazing rapport with both of them. She stays fully engaged in all activities, assists with daily routines and provides updates and a synopsis of the day/night. She was always on time, stayed as long as we needed her and was extremely flexible. A true gem for a sitter! She also loves dogs and our large cane corso took to her right away as well. Any family would be lucky to have Ms. Joy in their lives to help!
