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. Families can also request to see professional references! Our dedicated team also champions safety across our platform every day.

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’m Erin! I’m a graduate of Purdue University and St. Elizabeth School of Nursing, and have been an RN for (almost!) 30 years. My background has been diverse but I’m especially passionate about adult/senior care, and those with special needs hold a very special place in my heart. If you're looking for someone to help, I would love to talk with you!! I'm happy to answer your questions and discuss my experience, background, and caregiving style. A few fun facts about me: My husband and I have three “kids” (dogs 🐾). I’m a huge fan of Mexican food, Boilermaker basketball and football, road trips, 70’s music, IndyCar racing (a nephew works in the pits!), true crime shows, country music concerts, and Mountain Dew Zero.

Hi, my name is Emma I’m a warm, friendly babysitter with several years of experience caring for children in my own family, from infants to pre-teens. I’ve often been called a “baby whisperer” because of the natural way I connect with little ones. I truly enjoy spending time with kids, whether it’s soothing babies, playing with toddlers, or engaging older children in fun activities. I focus on providing care, entertainment, and support, making sure children feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their parents are away. I don’t handle homework help, but I do enjoy creating a positive and fun environment where kids can laugh, play, and feel at ease. Families describe me as reliable, kind, and easygoing — someone children look forward to spending time with. Caring for kids is something I’m passionate about, and I’m excited to bring that warmth and energy to every family I work with.

Hello! I love serving and caring for people (especially babies!!) I love pets and currently have 2 adorable kittens. I have an intermediate level of Spanish-speaking.

I have worked with 0-2 year-olds in church settings, 2-5 year-olds assisting with and teaching music and lessons, 8-11 year-olds at summer camp, 0-12 year-olds in families' homes, and 14-17 year-olds in a residential ministry setting counseling them in mental health issues (depression, anxiety, substance abuse, trauma, self-harm, and suicidal thinking). Outside of work I love being in nature, hiking, drawing, painting, writing and recording music, being with my family, and photography! I look forward to hearing from you and getting to know your family.
