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.

Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy working with children and being part of their growth. It’s fulfilling to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where they feel valued and supported. Every child has a unique personality and way of seeing the world, and I love helping them explore their interests, build confidence, and just be kids. What experience do you have? I have years of experience working with children in a variety of settings. In college, I tutored students ages 7–14 in all subjects, helping them build academic skills and self-confidence. I also worked as a camp counselor during high school at a nature camp for kids ages 3–12, leading outdoor activities, games, and group learning. In addition, I’ve babysat for family friends and neighbors, managing routines like meals, bedtime, school pickups, and creative play. What skills and training do you have? I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I have training in basic child safety and emergency response. I’m dependable, patient, and highly organized. My time as a college Resident Assistant strengthened my ability to manage high-stress situations and taught me valuable crisis management skills—tools that are essential when working with children. I’m confident in my communication, able to handle challenges calmly, and always focused on creating a supportive and structured environment. I’m also comfortable helping with homework, planning enriching activities, and maintaining a fun and safe space for kids of all ages.
