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.

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 my name is Alicia (most call me Allie). I have been a nanny for about 17 years now. I have a 17-year-old step-son. I spent several years being a full-time nanny for my sister while she worked a full-time job. Her son is now 17 years old and her daughter is now 14 years old. Both of them were cared for from birth, up until 2014, when my sister moved (and the children also grew up). Currently I have been a nanny for a wonderful family for almost 2 years but come fall 2024 the children will be in school and the family will no longer need me. I do have a reference from the mother if needed also. I absolutely love children and would care for them as if they were my own. I am looking for a long-term family to love as my own, but can also babysit on occasions. I absolutely adore and love children and I'm a child at heart. I love playing outside with the children, doing arts and crafts, board games, I am able to help with school work as well as any light-housework. I do not mind pets. I would love the opportunity to meet you and the children and to see if this would be a good fit all around. If interested I can be reached by text or call at 734-444-1801. Thank you for your time.

I enjoy being a sitter because I grew up taking care of my little siblings and cousins so as an eldest child, it has been an essential yet fulfilling part of my life. Additionally, I think kids are such a joy to be around and great companions to have fun with! I am currently a University of Michigan senior studying to become a child and adolescent psychiatrist so I am very passionate about caring for children! I used to work at Michigan Medicine on the child psychiatry unit, was a caregiver for my ailing grandma, and was a Behavioral Technician at an ABA clinic; I have a wealth of experience working with those who have special needs and in caring for those who struggle to care for themselves. I am CPR/BLS certified and have skills in redirecting maladaptive behaviors, toileting/oral care, feeding, providing companionship, and helping with homework.
