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. Wherever your child's interests lie, child care providers on Sittercity can engage them in a nurturing way.

Stephanie has cared for our son for 6 months and is now part of our family. My son is 1 years old now. She loves to play and entertain him as well as meal preparation. She is also great with him when he was teething and fussy. She has always been on time and will come on short notice. We are moving this summer and are truly going to miss her. I completely recommend Stephanie to watch your children.

I have over six years of experience caring for children of all ages, and I truly enjoy supporting their growth, confidence, and happiness. My background includes three years as a lifeguard and five years of teaching swim lessons, giving me strong safety awareness and the ability to work comfortably with kids in and out of the water. I recently graduated with a degree in Behavioral Health Science and will be continuing my education to earn my nursing license. I’m also able to assist with homework across all grade levels and enjoy helping kids feel capable and supported in their learning. Above all, I love creating a positive, fun, and safe environment. I strive to make every visit meaningful and enjoyable, helping kids feel happy, engaged, and excited for the next time we spend together.

Hello, I’m Katie (KT) and I would love to see if I would be a good fit for your child and family. Would love to make a safe and positive connection/influence on your kid/s! I don’t mind doing house work/chores or pets (comfortable with most animals). My standard base pay for hourly work depends on how many child, age of children, and all the things you include in having me do daily. I have 15+ years experience with nannying/babysitting kiddos from ages newborn to 11 years old. Let’s talk and see if we could be a perfect match for each other! Thank you for your time, hope to hear from you soon! Best of luck in your search! KT 🥰💜👶🏽
