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.

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.

I can cook just about anything, laundry, dishes, vacuum and dusting . I do have a skin condition called psoriasis. It’s not contagious and if it would make you feel comfortable I can always wear gloves. *COVID 19 UPDATE* I do NOT have covid, I have smokers cough from second hand smoke from my family smoking around me my whole life. No one in my family has/had covid. If I have to go out I wear gloves, mask and I always wash my hands and change my clothes after I get home. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask!

Hey there! I’m Stacey, and there’s nothing I’d love more than to be able to help out families when I’m available. I've been around children my whole life! I was assistant to my mothers at home daycare for years. I was a nanny for six years to a wonderful family until they went off to school. I am still in contact with them today and still see them and watch them occasionally which is always a treat! My mother and I ran a daycare together up until we closed in August of 2021 since all of our daycare kids grew up and went off to school! I love all of those little ones like they are my own and I can assure you, I'll do the same for your little one! I am CPR Certified, First Aid Trained, Sleep Safe Certified. I am also recognized by the state as a certified caregiver. I’m currently a nanny to a family full time and am looking for a new position as they are relocating at the end of May. Hoping to start with a family with an infant towards the end of May or sooner if needed. I require an interview via FaceTime beforehand. Resume and references available upon request. I look forward to hearing from you!
