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, my name is Ashley. I am currently staying in the area as I enjoy a break before beginning my masters degree. I am looking for a family who needs someone for a good amount of hours! A full time position would be ideal but it doesn’t have to be! I have extensive childcare experience as I’ve worked with children my entire teenage and young adult years. This includes watching individual children at their homes, group settings, and professional settings doing anything from homework help to bedtime! I shine between the ages of 12 months- 3 years but have worked with children ages 6 weeks-14 years old. I’m willing to help you with anything you need including housework/house management, transportation, and bedtime. If you feel as though I may be a good fit for you and your little one please feel free to reach out!

I have been babysitting regularly with kids since I was 10 - needless to say, I’ve seen it all. I’ve been volunteering with kids since middle school as well and truly find so much fulfillment in pouring in to the next generation. I am currently in school working towards becoming a trauma therapist for kids! I work with all ages fairly regularly, so I do incredibly well babysitting for families with kids of all different ages. I am exceptionally talented at working with children who have behavioural issues as well! Being fully online for school, I'm able to be incredibly flexible which parents love about me! I also am willing to work very late (12 a.m. - 3 a.m.) and do overnights as well. For a full rundown of my work rates, please reach out! Feel free to contact me for more information or even schedule a call :)

Hi! I’m a babysitter who truly loves spending time with kids. I’ve had plenty of experience taking care of my little sister and other kids, so I know how to keep things fun, safe, and engaging. Whether it’s playing games or helping with homework, the most important thing to me is making sure kids feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also CPR certified, so safety is always a priority. Babysitting is something I genuinely enjoy, and I always do my best to be someone both kids and parents can count on!

Even though I’m not a nanny yet, I’m excited to work toward becoming one. I have experience babysitting for family and friends, caring for kids of different ages and helping with homework, playtime, meals, and bedtime routines. I’m patient, attentive, and a good communicator, and I enjoy keeping children engaged with creative activities while maintaining a safe and positive environment. I’m also eager to continue learning and plan to pursue trainings like CPR/First Aid as I work toward building a professional career in childcare.
