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.

I was a nanny to a wonderful pair of siblings starting when they were 2 and 3, but they are in Kindergarten and Pre-K now so I am available to help new families. The kids and I got along so well that they wanted me to move in. :) Since graduating, I have worked as an elementary school substitute, lead a 3 year old room at a daycare, and continue to work as a tutor at Sylvan Learning Center after being with the company nearly a decade, so whether your little one needs homework help or play time, I've got you covered. I also love pets and don't mind helping with basic house work.

Hi! I'm Kayla and I go by Dani :) I'm 24 years old and while most of my work experience is in retail management I recently discovered that guiding children is what I'm passionate about. I've been babysitting on and off for a few years and most of my experience is with toddlers and children! I follow the 'gentle parenting' approach and practice Montessori guiding. I am not AMI certified yet but am very interested in doing so. While babysitting/nannying I like to encourage motor skills, speech skills, and helping the child understand the emotions they're feeling and healthy ways to deal with them. In my free time I like to crochet, read, play games on my computer/switch and go antiquing :)

Hello! Although I do not have any certifications I do have a lot of training when it comes to children ranging from the ages of 1-8 years old. I was prior military and I helped a lot of my coworkers out with babysitting due to the amount of hours we sometimes worked. I also was the point of contact as well as the one responsible for 5+ babies for adult events. I have two nephews that I also take care of when I visit. I am a patient and caring baby sitter who loves to spend time playing and taking care of children.
