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.

Bottom line up front, Gabriela is absolutely amazing. She was our first nanny for our son and watched while my wife and I worked full time. She watched him from when our son was about 4 months until he was about a year old. She was always engaged with him and keeping him occupied. We had total peace of mind leaving our son with her, and he was always excited to see her. Unfortunately we had to move away, but we cannot say enough good things about Gabby! You would be truly lucky to have her watch your child/children!

Hello! My name is Amber :) I have been working with children for several years now, from babysitting to professional daycare and now as an elementary teacher. I just recently completed my masters in elementary education and am looking for part time occasional work throughout the summer, until I am back in the classroom this Fall. During this time, I would love to find a family or two in need of part time or occasional childcare services! I am certified in CPR and first aid and have a number of professional and personal references available. I have worked with children of all ages, but have the most experience in ages 1-7. I would love to talk more and answer any questions you may have!

Amber was great! She was prompt with responses, showed up on time for our meet and greet, and immediately jumped right in engaging with our toddler. She has great energy, very warm, kind, and interactive. You can tell she’s a true professional in her communication and demeanor. Our availability unfortunately didn’t align, otherwise we would have absolutely moved forward. We’re keeping her in mind for as-needed care!

We were so grateful to have Brenna care for our 10-month-old son, even if it was only for a few months. The way she loved and nurtured him was truly special, and he adored her from the very start. Every morning, his face would light up with excitement when she arrived, and she'd spend the day playing with him, inventing new games, and making him laugh until his little belly ached. By the time she left, she felt like part of the family. We can't recommend Brenna highly enough - she's a gem, and we feel so lucky to have had her in our lives.
