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.

Kelsea has been with us full-time for the last 3 years. She has always been caring and professional, firm but kind, helpful and instructive. Our boys have been incredibly lucky to have her guidance and love over the time she's been with us - we can definitely see some of her positive influence in them. Kelsea was always responsible and reliable, and I am sure that she will excel in any family. As a working parent, it's never an easy decision to leave your children in the care of someone else. Kelsea made this choice an easy one for us. She looked out for the best interests of our children, she kept their safety and health in mind, and she got them to eat vegetables I never dreamed they would eat :-) Our children have loved every minute with her. I could not recommend her highly enough!

Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy working with children and creating a fun, positive, and safe environment for them. I enjoy getting to know each child's personality, keeping them engaged in activities, and being someone parents can trust to provide attentive and dependable care. What experience do you have? I have several years of hands on childcare experience. I began babysitting my younger sister when I was 11 years old, and I also regularly spend time caring for my three younger cousins, who are 6 years old, 4 years old, and 3 months old. This has given me experience with a variety of ages, including infants and young children. Additionally, I worked as a lifeguard for three years, where I developed strong safety, communication, and responsibility skills. What skills and training do you have? I am CPR, First Aid, and Heimlich maneuver certified. My three years of experience as a lifeguard strengthened my ability to stay calm, recognize potential safety concerns, and respond appropriately in emergencies. I consider myself patient, dependable, attentive, and caring. I understand the importance of creating a safe and comfortable environment where children can have fun while parents have peace of mind.

Just moved into our first home in Crittenden, KY. I have always loved kids & just a few years ago I received my CDA (Child Development Associates). I have worked at two childcare centers. I was a lead teacher in the first one and then an assistant turned into lead teacher at my second one. The age groups I am specialized in are toddlers & infants. That’s what I tend to stick to in a daycare setting but have experience with ages 6weeks to 14 years old (including children with special needs). I’ve always been the family & friends’ babysitter & would babysit kids at my daycare as well!
