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.

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

Sharon D.

Hi, My name is Sharon, and Rachel has been the full-time nanny for my little girl (now 19 months old) for over a year and she is AMAZING! I work from home several days a week so I am around to see the care she is taking of my daughter, and I have been very happy with everything. My daughter is excited to see Rachel every day and Rachel keeps her fully occupied. They love to go on walks together when the weather is nice, and she drives her to gym classes a few times a week. She is VERY patient with my little girl, and I often hear them giggling which makes me smile as a mom! Please feel free to contact me if you would like any more feedback. You would be very lucky to get her!! Sharon 301-332-5076

I have worked as a Preschool teacher, babysitter and nanny for over 16 years. I am fluent in Spanish and English and have my Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education. I am also CPR certified. I have taken care of children between the ages of 3 months and 13 years old. I feel communication is key between the parent and childcare provider. I have learned to work with parents as a team, and listen to what they want for their children and what their goals are. That way, I provide for their needs as best I can.

Hello! My name is Dellany and I am 20 years old! I have five years of experience watching children, including younger cousins, siblings, and kids of coworkers and family friends. The most children I've watched at a time was three kids, a set of twins and a baby. In my spare time I love to read, catch up on my favorite shows and movies, clean, sew, go for long walks, or listen to podcasts! In high school I took a child development course that primarily focused on toddlers. I was part of my high school's preschool program and got to bond with kids by engaging them in fun activities that helped their little brains to develop! I am CPR certified and certified in first aid! I am currently looking into gaining certifications in newborn care.

As a patient and friendly childcare provider with five years of experience, I am passionate about making a positive impact on children's lives and supporting families. My calm demeanor and ability to communicate effectively with parents about their child's day and any issues that arise have made me a trusted caregiver. I am comfortable caring for two children at a time, ranging in age from infants to 10-year-olds. My educational background, including a high school degree, has equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide a nurturing and enriching environment for children. I enjoy playing educational games that promote learning and creativity, such as board games and puzzles. I also love to read to children and encourage their imagination through storytelling. I am dedicated to providing a safe and reliable child care option for families. I am willing to help with cooking and meal preparation, as well as light housekeeping.
