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.

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 am a wife and mother of three adult children. I was a certified elementary teacher (k-9) for over 15 years before I moved here, and I love to work with children. I was a full time nanny to two young children (3 yrs old and 3-15 months) in St. Joseph, Michigan (2021-23), another infant 3-20 months in Valparaiso (2023-24), and two children (4 & 2 years old) in Valpo (23-Now) I'm currently available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I can help with just about anything including the feeding, cleaning, laundry, making baby food, or homework. Just let me know what it is that you need. I am very comfortable with children of all ages. As a working parent, I understand how hard it is to get it all done and how important it is to find a reliable, trusted individual to care for your most precious commodity - your children. I am hands-on, engaging, and fun. I love to get kids out and about and involved in activities that involve physical movement whenever possible. I am also extremely reliable.
