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.

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them.

Hi families! I am Rae. I just finished being a full time nanny in Australia to four beautiful families after four years. I love being outside, going on adventures, walking the dogs, hiking and catching up for a coffee. The children’s ages I worked with were from 18 months-10 years old. I also baby sat children as young as 13 months in between my work schedule. I have just moved back home and am looking for something to fill in my schedule and absolutely loved my life as a nanny. All the families I worked for, I have returned to many times, whether it was for work or leisure. I am in contact with all of them and love watching the kiddo’s grow and seeing who they are becoming. I went abroad three times with one of my families, so I am extremely trust worthy and reliable. I would love a family who are after a big sister, not just strictly an employee. I am happy to do laundry, tidying up, taking the children out, cooking and pre-planned activities. One of my host children had high functioning autism, so I am comfortable working with special needs and giving extra love to kiddos. Thank you for your time!☺️ Rae
