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.

I recently moved to Kentucky from Indiana. I have two children ages 24and 22. Both were exceptional children in school, were Honor Roll students. I love being a mom! I ran a cleaning business in Indianapolis for 20 years part time so I could be home with them as much as possible. All of my clients loved me and we became family. I always try to go above and beyond what is asked. I believe kids should be given structure but also be allowed freedom to explore the world. I loved taking my kids outside and allowing them to use their imaginations. I am CPR certified and have my CDA certification I am also fine with doing household chores, light meal prep, etc during nap time etc so that I stay busy and to help the family out.
