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 families! My name is Tyesha (or Ty) and I am an experienced babysitter professionally and personally. I have 4 nieces and 1 nephew all under the ages of 11 and have spent a lot of my time helping raise them to be the awesome little humans they are. I also worked for a year and a half at a children’s learning center as a Resource Teacher with ages ranging from 1 month up to 12 years old. I babysat for a couple of the families and created a special bond with these children in and outside of the center. I don’t have children of my own, but I love kids and treat every single one as if they are my own. It is my passion to help others and if I can leave an impact on just one child’s life in the world, then my time here was worth it! I have my own car, so transportation isn’t a problem.

Hi there! I’m McKinley (preferred name Hayes). I’ve recently graduated High school, graduating a semester early in 2022. I’ve been babysitting for as long as I can remember. Being the oldest daughter, I’ve always loved taking care of my younger siblings, and cousins anywhere I could. I’ve cared for a few families, and my most recent, 3 girls between the ages of 7 and 1. I truly enjoy working with kids, and helping them learn and grow along the way. I’m available Monday through Thursday until 6:30-7pm, but I’m flexible on times. I can provide you with wonderful references upon request. My rate changes depending on the amount of children, and I’m looking for a consistent and stable position. Looking forward to working with you.
