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.

Hi, my name's Krista, and I've been a childcare provider for many years. I have experience working with children of all ages. I especially love being a nanny because it gives me the opportunity to be a team player with the parents I work for as well as give children individualized attention. I enjoy arts and crafts, coloring, playing board games, playing outdoor games such as hopscotch, reading to children, and taking them on outings to the playground or library. I'm certified in Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED through The American Red Cross, and I have a clean driving record. Working with children is challenging and rewarding, and that's why I chose to be a childcare provider. Thank you.

I became a caregiver because I really love to make a difference in children's lives. I used to volunteer at an elementary school in my area at Kidstop and I also worked in the classroom too.

NANNY/BABYSITTER Hello! 👋 My name is Mack and I am currently a Nursing student at Grand Canyon University. I am looking for a part-time position as I am currently working as a casual Nursing Assistant at CentraCare. I can do up to 3 days a week including nights and weekends. Or if you just need a babysitter you can put on speed dial for date nights, let me know! I will be in Minnesota through the end of August so I can work starting now until then. I can drive to anywhere within 20-25 minutes of Sartell. I am looking for something that will work around my CNA job. I can assist with any household chores, take dogs along for walks, run errands, cook meals, and drive kiddos around. I have a reliable SUV and a clean driving record. I am also certified in Basic Life Support, and have had recent MN and AZ background checks and fingerprints that came back clean. I have experience with all ages, from putting infants down to sleep to tutoring middle schoolers and everything in between! I am also the oldest sibling and cousin so I am very comfortable with taking care of kids. Regarding pay, I ask for around $17 for one child and an additional $2 per other children. For example, $21 an hour for 3 kids. If this interests you, please feel free to reach out and ask any questions! I would love to get to know your family! 😊

Outside of work, I enjoy weightlifting, long walks, cooking and baking healthy meals/desserts, and spending quality time with my husband, friends, and family. I have great references upon request 😊
