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.

I enjoy working with kid, I’ve been working at a before and after care for an elementary school. I am somewhat new to Child Care although it gives me experiences for the career I want to pursue. I am CPR certified/First Aid, bilingual in Spanish etc. In my senior year of high school I took a class to help a teacher out and see what it looks like behind a teacher's lens. I coached rec gymnastics for ages 3-10 and enjoyed working and see the kids improve. I am really excited to bring my passion out and hopefully build connections with kids. Wanting to gain experience but also supporting your families needs :)!

Phoebe worked with our boys for a few months on the weekends when we needed some extra help. She was always punctual, a great communicator, and very responsible. She was also very good at entertaining our wild boys, often creating fun, active games for them even when they were cooped up inside. I would recommend her highly. :)

Hi! I’m Catherine! 😊 I have several years of babysitting experience and three years of daycare experience working with children of all ages, from infants through school-age children. I have spent a lot of my time working specifically with infants, and they’re definitely the age group I connect with the most! I’m CPR and First Aid certified, responsible, patient, and genuinely love spending time with kids. I enjoy playing outside, doing fun activities, helping with routines, and making sure every child feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m also happy to help with meals, bedtime, homework, and light cleanup. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family and become someone you can trust with your little ones! 💕

Hi there! A bit about me is I like working with kids because I love seeing them learn and become their own individuals. I have worked with kids since I was 13, babysitting and I've worked at a daycare for 2. 5 years. I am currently a lead teacher in the mobile infant room at a 5 star daycare. Taking care of kids is something I enjoy. I am happy to do chores along with taking care of the kids. In my spare time, I like to do art, read, watch shows, listening to music, and spend time with my family. One thing you should know about me is I'm a fast learner and I will work my hardest to follow my duties and to go above and beyond. My skills include understanding, empathy, and patience. I understand being emotional but I also know when to shut it down. I am able to stay calm when under pressure. I come from a pet free and smoke free household but am more than comfortable with animals. I am also CPR certified, certificate available on request.

I love working with kids and integrating them into everyday tasks! It is such an honor to watch them grow up and how they are always learning. I am an experienced nanny, who currently works with a family with 2 young children (26m and 7m). I have some babysitting availability in 2026, and I am looking for a new nanny family in June of 2026. I look forward to connecting with your family!
