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.

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 I’m Claire, I’ve been working as a babysitter for a few years now and truly enjoy working with babies and children of all ages. I’m a senior in high school and am homeschooled, so I have a very flexible schedule. This is one of my many passions and I also love to cook, so meal prep is definitely doable for me.

Hello, I am Alicia 47 and moved to NC 2 1/2 years ago from Co. I am married and have a 26 year old son,and a 23 year old step daughter. I have worked with children for 9 year over the years. I cared for 3 children ranging from 10 months to 4 years old. I was with them for 3 years. They got older and went to school, I was no longer needed. I still talk to the eldest child today :) I was a nanny to a sweet baby from 12 weeks till she was 4. I worked at a licensed Daycare for a year before moving here. During the time at the Daycare we were required to keep up with training courses. I did most my training for infants/ toddlers. These were the ages of children I cared for. I did have a family I worked with here for 10 months, unfortunately my house were depleted and I was unable to stay with that job. She was 2/3 years old. I am CPR/ 1st aid certified. I have recently had a TB blood test done for a potential job at a daycare as well as a background check. I do have a reliable car.
