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.

I am a diligent and gregarious caregiver with six years of experience working in a facility And nannying for ages 0-12 years old. I have experience managing high pressure and high energy classrooms and teaching young students their basic class subjects, the importance of being kind, calm, and mindful. Which allowed me to be rewarded as teacher of the month on multiple occasions. I aspire to be an exceptional Yoga teacher for children of all ages in order to prevent their generations from struggling with any behavioral issues as teens and adults. I enjoy working with children because they are full of great, honest, and positive energy! Which is what the world needs everyday. I believe they are my future, and if I can aid them in being better humans than the generations before them, I have done my duty as their elder and teacher. I say all the time "If your not making a positive impact on the youth then what are you doing?"

She is beyond amazing! My family vacationed in Savannah this past December and we had Crystal babysit the three nights we were in town. She watched our son ( 1 yr) and our 2 nieces (2 yr an 4yr). Crystal is warm, professional and was absolutely wonderful with our children. I am new to hiring a sitter through a website but after reading Crystals reviews I decided to give it a try and I’m so glad I did. I wish she lived in Durham!

Hi, I’m Ceonna Kyler! I’m naturally a calm, patient, and easygoing person who genuinely enjoys being around kids. Even though I don’t have paid babysitting experience yet, I’ve spent a lot of time caring for younger siblings, cousins, and family friends, so I’m very used to keeping kids safe, entertained, and on a routine. I’m the type of person who can match a child’s energy—whether that means playing games and being fun, or helping them wind down and feel comfortable. I’m also really attentive and responsible, so you can trust that your child will be cared for and in a safe, positive environment. I take childcare seriously, but I also like to create a space where kids feel relaxed, happy, and understood. I’m reliable, respectful of your rules, and always willing to adapt to what works best for your family.

I have been working with children in a daycare from infants up to 5th grade (10/11) since I was 16. I love watching children grow into their own personalities and find themselves. Anything I can do to make sure a child is safe, happy, and having fun I would love to do it.

I like baby sitting and spending time with kids because I used to watch my little cousins all the time and it was probably the most fun I’ve had outside of playing sports myself; but looking forward to doing it more when I can.

As a mother of 2 I understand that trusting a stranger to watch your children is difficult. Every child that I’m around, weather im in public or with family and friends has become a little friend to me. I’m known for my patience and punctuality. First aid cpr certified. I have been a caregiver for over a year and have experience with children with autism and disabilities. I have no problem being watched on camera because with or without a camera I treat everyone the same way. I was born into a big family so I have experience with all school age children. I can cook and clean up. Also can help with homework with the help of Google 😆
