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.

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 Deyauna.. I’m new to SitterCity. But not at all new to babysitting or kids. I currently work at a elementary school k-5 in the front office, which I love because I get to interact with all the kids. Im also an RBT helping children who have autism. When I’m not doing both of these I use my time to work as a Substitute in which I’ve worked with all grades from preschool all the way up to seniors. I also have 5 nephews whom I love sooo much. So without saying I think I would be the pretty perfect candidate to come and take care of all babysitting needs. Whether you need a fun night out to just enjoy yourself, or something important I got all your needs covered.

Hi, my name is Ray and I’m 32 years old, happily married and have 3 beautiful children of my own. I absolutely love children and have been working as a babysitter/nanny for about 12 years on and off. Before I had my own children, I worked as a medical assistant for a family practitioner and worked mainly with infants and children. My children are a little older now so I have more flexibility and I’m excited about the opportunity to help out another family again! I’m active, love being outside, and love all kinds of pets!
