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.

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.

Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’m a student at Lenoir-Rhyne University where I’m also a member of the swim team. I’ve always enjoyed working with kids, which is why I’ve spent the past four years babysitting, along with coaching summer swim teams for the past three years. Before that, I taught swim lessons for two years. These experiences have helped me develop patience, leadership, and a strong ability to connect with children of all ages. I’m currently available to babysit Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 7:45 AM to 12 PM, or after 6:30 PM on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and create a fun and safe environment for your kids!
