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.

Jaz’myn is still currently my babysitter. She has been babysitting my 5 year old autistic and epileptic daughter and my 11 year old daughter while I work for the past two weeks. She has so much energy and is full of life. My kids are always tired when I get home because of how much Jaz’myn does with them. She has taken them to many fun places and is so great. She cooks for them and always cleans up after herself. I would highly recommend Jaz’myn to anyone that needs a sitter once the summer is over of course.

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy working with children and creating a safe, positive, and fun environment for them. I have about one year of babysitting experience with children of different ages, helping with meals, routines, homework, and engaging activities. I am currently in nursing school and certified in CPR and BLS, which has strengthened my focus on safety, responsibility, and providing dependable, attentive care.

I am currently in school for psychology. I'm not sure exactly where I'm going but working with kid with disabilities is an experience that has been so amazing that I know it's within that. I love being active and staying active! I am originally from Louisiana but moved to Georgia back in July. I love traveling and have been to 8 different states and two different countries. I love kids and love to be in their light of the world. I am also good with pets. I have two cats!!!

I am a recent college graduate. I love working with children because it’s fun to provide a happy and safe environment for children to thrive and learn. I have experience babysitting children aged 4 months to 12 years and up to 3 children at a time (including an infant, toddler, and child). I also have two years of experience working as a summer daycare teacher, caring for up to 12 toddlers (2 or 3 years) for up to 12 hours 5 days weekly. I love to do fun activities that will also help the children learn but I believe letting the children guide the activities is important. I think my training experience sets me apart because I have trained for babysitting at a hospital, been CPR certified multiple times (although expired now), and took courses on early childhood education and care while working at the daycare. I hope I can provide the help you need and give you the peace of mind your children will be happy, safe, and comfortable.
