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.

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. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

Rebecca is a great babysitter. I have a very active son and she kept him entertianed all day, which was 14 hours! He said he had a great day. My house was cleaner than I left it. No complaints at all. I would definitely recommend her.

My name is Jessica W. It is very nice to meet you! I live in the Dexter/ Ann Arbor area, but I am flexible. I have been a babysitter for many years, while babysitting I’ve watched children through the ages of 0-12. I love working with children, and watching how each of them learn to express themselves and how they can work towards different goals. I am 22 years old and have graduated from Washtenaw Community College with my associates in Early Childhood Education! I have also recently become a mom of a beautiful baby girl who is 6 months old! I have work with many infants beforehand but have grasped a completely new concept of infant lifestyle! A little bit more about me, I love to be outside enjoying beautiful Mother Nature. I am very into sports as I played many throughout my childhood and high school/college! I enjoy reading and writing, and spending lots of time doing all these with my daughter and family! I would love to hear from you if you think I’m a good fit for your family! Thank you so much for taking the time to learn a little bit about me!

Hiya! My name is Bri and I absolutely adore little ones. I am new to the nanny game, but I’ve spent lots of time looking after my two nieces!(2.5yrs and 3 weeks) I am CPR and First Aid certified for all ages. I’d love to find a family with one or two littles under age 3. I am looking for a long term position where we can all grow together! <3

I love children of all ages. Infants, toddlers, tweens and teens. I have two step daughters of my own, ages 12 and 14. I am 33 years old and most of my friends have younger children of their own. Therefore, I am also a glorified Aunt by choice. I have tons of experience in childcare. I babysat from the age of 12 until 18, when I left home for college. I have not made an income through childcare since then but I can reassure you that I've have lots of time with kiddos since. I am active and fit and will happily engage in playtime, learning, outdoor activities and even activities requested that might mean we leave the house. My wish is to provide a good experience to those in my care and to bring ease to parents knowing their child is in the presence of someone safe and caring.
