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. Child care providers go through an identity verification process Berbix when registering an account.

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. Wherever your child's interests lie, child care providers on Sittercity can engage them in a nurturing way.

Last-minute, school and tutoring, date nights—find the right babysitters for you.

Lindsey is absolutely amazing ! She recently started to babysit my 18 month daughter at her house during the week. Everyday I get a paper letting me know exactly what my daughter did for activities, what she ate , what time she ate her meals, her nap times and when she had wet diapers. Lindsey sends me multiple pictures everyday of my daughter and her two kiddos and they are always having tons of fun ! My daughter is always so happy there and today she didn't want to leave ! She is happy and always ready for bed and tired at bedtime so I know she is getting her energy out during the day ! Lindsey is also so laid back and understanding if I ever run late ! My husband and I are so lucky we found such an amazing family to care for our girl during our work days ! I highly recommended Lindsey !

Hi! My name is Eve, and I’m currently a sophomore at UNH. I am looking for a babysitting position. I’ve been working with kids since I was 15 at a summer camp and babysitting here and there in between, so I have lots of experience with kids of all ages. When I’m home during school breaks I work at a daycare so I would love to continue working with kids while at college! I also have plenty of experience house-sitting and pet-sitting, and I’m comfortable with all animals (no allergies!). I’m responsible, reliable, and I’d love to find a great family to work with while I’m at school!

Hello, I am a mom of three children ages 12, 11 and 8. My children are all in school full days now and I am interested in helping families part time (mother's hours). I am available from about 8:30 -2:00 depending on the distance I need to travel. I am also available to provide overnight care for newborns/infants. I am a certified teacher who left teaching after the birth of my third child to be home with my family. I love working with children! For the past several years I have really enjoyed my work as a postpartum doula. I work to help families adjust after the arrival of a new baby or babies. I have worked with families having their first baby as well as expanding families who just need an extra set of hands. I have experience with multiples as well as special needs infants/children. I help the family with siblings, light housework, laundry, breastfeeding support, and of course infant care if mom just needs a rest. I am available for general childcare as well as my doula work. I am happy to provide reference upon request. Thankyou, Leighann

Sagia was nothing short of amazing! Highly recommend. She was able jump right in when my childcare fell through and keep my two year old entertained while I worked from home. My daughter had separation anxiety at first knowing I was in the next room but Sagia was able to calm her. By the end she was happy as a clam and giving Sagia hugs!

Although I enjoy tending to children the most, I can also do some light housekeeping, nanny, pet watch, meal plan, and travel wherever I'm needed. If you need your kids watched for a few hours for a date night or something more regular like after school pick ups when school starts again, I can be that person! 😀

Brooke watched our 7 month old daily for a few months and did a spectacular job. She was consistently on-time, had great instincts, listened to what we wanted, and always ensured our baby was happy and safe. She supported in meeting the day to day needs of our child (diaper changes, taking walks around the area, playing with her, feedings, etc.) but also participated in introducing her to solid foods, sleep training, and even occasionally provided us very useful recommendations to improve their development. We only stopped working with her after we moved a few states away and we were very sad that we would have to find a replacement. If we lived in her area again we wouldn't hesitate to hire her to watch our child. Any family would be lucky to have her!
