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.

Hi there! Long time experienced babysitter here. I started when I was 11 years old and had 5 families on rotation by the time I was 14. I am well-versed in several parenting styles. I will follow whatever parenting style you use yourself. I have worked for just about every kind of family you could imagine (2 1/2 yo twin boys, a family of 4 with a preteen, a 10th month old baby, etc…). I’m super friendly, and I love working with children to help their minds grow. I don’t just sit them in front of a TV, I like to play board games with them, draw with them… that sort of thing.

I started my childcare experience at 12, I’m nearly 52 and still love it! I became a professional nanny and have full time work experience in that field for over 15 years. I moved back to the area almost 3 years ago to help care for my dad and have remained to stay with my mom. I live in Lambertville, have my own car and although not current I have had infant/adult cpr along with first aid. 630-501-7252 is my cell and I’d love to hear from you!
