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 am A 31 year old mother of 3 wonderful children and A wife to A retired Military sergeant. I’ve been babysitting for 10+ years especially with military families. All my families loved me especially because I let them price what they can afford. Time’s are hard and I understand It’s never been about the money for me I like helping others.❤️I’ve always enjoyed being around children and teaching them (Colors) (ASL) (Numbers) (Alphabet) and more…I have so much patience when it comes to children everyone says I have a gift with that. I also use to be A lead toddler Teacher at Andover KinderCare learning center for about 2.5 years. I Decided to leave to further my career in school (Baby nurse). I’ve always loved and treated all Children as if they’re my very own. I hope you consider me in watching and doing lots of learning, fun activities with your blessings. ❤️ P.S. I would really like to babysit in my home if not comfortable with the idea, I have surveillance cameras inside and outside my home for safety purposes. That being said if anything were to happen to your child/children I will have the video proof. ❤️

Hi! I'm Kayley, I really enjoy watching kids because they're super fun to be around. I watch my two nephews occasionally and have been since they were very young (they're 6 and 8 now). I used to do before and after school childcare for elementary students. We would provide snack and play games either outside or in the gym. I don't mind pets at all, I have two dogs and a cat, so if you have any pets its no problem at all. I can also provide my own transportation.
