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.

Hello. I have worked with children in various afterschool programs in previous years (for at least 3 years total) and have always loved it. I love finding new experiences that we all enjoy and helping people thrive as individuals. I’ve also worked in Pediatrics as a medical assistant so I have experience in conditions of ADHD and know first aid for emergencies. I’m very flexible and responsible so feel free to contact me anytime.

She is amazing , my boys can be handful and she takes it in stride. She brings all types of activities for them to have fun and isn’t bothered by our St. Bernard puppy’s antics either . She makes sure they stay hydrated, safe and have a blast

Hey! My name is Taylor and I am 20 years old. What I enjoy most about babysitting is being able to watch kids grow and help them learn basic things in life. I enjoy being able to help families by providing a structured, safe and happy environment for their kids. I gained experience by working at a daycare. I worked with kids from 3 months to 8 years old. While working there, I was CPR trained as well as first aid. I also do have my own car so I’m able to drive anywhere needed. I have many pets in my household as well so pets are no issue for me.

With 2 years of experience in child care, I'm all about having fun while helping kids learn and grow. I love getting creative with activities, whether crafting. When I'm not caring for kids, I run an interior decor business where I pour my creativity and attention to detail into each piece. I'm excited to combine my love for kids and creativity in a babysitting role, making sure your little ones have a great time while learning and exploring.

I have always loved teaching and caring for children. With years of experience working with children, from babysitting to after school care, I find that having a positive influence around kids is the best way they can learn and grow. I have been working with children consecutively for almost 10 years, certified in CPR/First Aid, and have great skills for caring for children. I got my degree in musical theatre, and find that it helps tremendously get their creative juices flowing!
