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. Child care providers go through an identity verification process Berbix when registering an account. Some additional safety measures include Family Watchdog screening, babysitter and nanny reviews, and secure messaging.

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 really enjoy crafts, games, teaching, cooking and outdoor activities with the children I babysit (Unless they’re too young of course).I have plenty of references to provide if needed. My schedule is very flexible. Thank you for viewing my profile and I hope to hear back from you!

Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and watching them learn, grow, and have fun. It’s rewarding to know I can make them feel safe, cared for, and happy while their parents are away. What experience do you have? I’ve been babysitting since I was 12, and I have over five years of experience caring for children of all ages, including kids with special needs. I’ve handled everything from playtime and homework help to bedtime routines and light meals. What skills and training do you have? I’m patient, calm, and responsible. I’m great at keeping kids engaged through games, crafts, and activities, and I always follow the parents’ rules and routines. While I’m not certified in CPR or first aid, I take safety very seriously and stay attentive at all times.

Hello! I have been a child care provider almost my whole life! Started as a child as a mother’s helper and evolved into a babysitter, nanny, daycare worker, and home daycare provider. I have 3 grown children of my own! I am seeking a new opportunity where all of my attention can be directed to a few children rather than many! I have loved my home daycare but have always missed being a nanny and being able to provide more one on one care.

Hi! I’m originally from Michigan and recently returned after spending the past year in Hawaii. I’ve worked with the YMCA since 2014, holding a director-level role with a strong focus on youth programs and camp leadership. Through this work, I’ve gained extensive experience creating safe, engaging, and developmentally supportive environments for children of all ages. In addition to my youth program background, I have hands-on nanny experience with children ranging from 3 months to 8 years old. I’m comfortable with routines, early childhood development, and balancing both fun and structure. I also have valuable experience supporting children with special needs, approaching every child with patience, understanding, and individualized care. I’m passionate about helping kids learn, grow, and feel confident—and I’m committed to providing families with reliable, compassionate, and professional support. Let me know how I can help your family thrive!
