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.

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them.

Hello! I am new grad registered nurse on a labor and delivery unit. I have been babysitting for family friends since beginning of high school. I currently have my BLS. I am comfortable with all ages with the youngest being a newborn. At this point I am only looking for part time hours/random date nights. I do not have a fixed schedule at the hospital, so each week my availability will look different! I am very easy going with a positive mindset. I have my own reliable vehicle as well. Please contact me if interested!

I enjoy children because of their liveliness and I find i have natural empathy, and compassion, which works well. (In some ways they are easier to interact with than adults!) I have experience working with children ages 4 and 5 and older. I am currently working in a daycare center but I am looking to branch out a bit, because I feel the program I am working at is not very enlightened. I feel childhood is possibly the most important time of life and it's our job as caregivers to help children feel safe, seen, and heard. I
