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.

My name is Alliyah Ruybal I go by Leah as well. I am 20 years old and have had many fun years caring for kiddos. I have taken care of kids for about 6-7 years in total and my expertise lie from 0-10 years of age. I am competent with teenagers as well, I enjoy all sorts of activities and love to teach new things to the kids and Set goals and expectations for the day/week. My favorite thing about taking care of kids is getting to be apart of watching them grow and learn different life skills everyday. Having a routine to keep things organized and clean is part of who I am. The more I get to experience time with children the more I learn as well which is a huge for me. I really enjoy getting to connect with each kid I meet and discovering how different each mind is. I hope to continue to meet several different kids from different familiies.

Alliyah was awesome. She helped us when we were new to Idaho and didn't know anyone. She was amazing with our 2 kids and even helped us get unpacked and help the kids get settled into our new home. Now that we have been here more than a year, we still call Alliyah whenever we need a babysitter. We fell truly lucky that we have found her.

Beth was so great, helping us out for a date night. Our girls are still talking about her (even though they didn’t spend a whole lot of time with her, being bedtime and all), and can’t wait for us to go out on another date. Thank you Beth!

Hello, my name is Megan. I have experience working with children through my church as well as providing babysitting services in the past. I truly enjoy spending time with kids and creating a positive, engaging environment for them. Currently, I work as a caregiver, but I am looking to transition into a role focused more on childcare. I am patient, dependable, and enjoy activities such as playing, helping with routines, and cooking. I also have experience caring for infants and understand the importance of attentiveness and safety at that stage. I would welcome the opportunity to contribute my skills and enthusiasm to your family. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hello my name is Shianna! I currently care for my cousin’s three kids age 4,6, and 8. I do the morning routine and get them on the school bus and her four year old is home with me and my two year old son Bennett. Nannying is something that is so special and close to my heart. I love being in an environment with children. I’ve also been a caregiver for the elderly for over eight years. I like to plan activities for my son and play with him on the floor. We like to race cars, play with playdoh, and color to name a few. I’m in the process of getting infant/early childhood cpr/first aid certification. My son doesn’t have to join me at work, but he does enjoy being around babies and children his age. I can’t wait to meet your family!
