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.

After having my own two children I realized how working with kids was my calling and passion! I am one of eight children myself and helped take care of my older sisters children as well as my younger sister who had Downs Syndrome. This experience has prepared me for a lifetime of teaching, patience, and caring for children on a daily basis. Although my education is a bachelor’s in business management I first started going to school to be a teacher. I have worked in the Weymouth public schools, daycares, and had my own at home daycare before covid. Since covid I have become a nanny and I am comfortable with other people’s homes and pets. I love seeing the world through a child’s eyes going for walks, blowing bubbles, story time and arts and crafts!
