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.

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.

Caroline worked for our family for the month of August while my family was living in Ocean City. During this time, Caroline cared for our 4 month old boy/girl twins while my husband and I worked. Caroline was extremely professional, punctual, nurturing and responsive to our babies needs. She was great at keeping to our schedule of what she should be doing with the babies and when (feeds, playtime, naps, etc.). She was great with our 6 year old clingy dog. Caroline was truly a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their kids.

Hi! I'm Jordan, and I've been a Pre-K Special Education teacher in the school district for the past four years. I genuinely love working with kids and helping them learn, grow, and build confidence. Because of my teaching background, I'm able to provide tutoring, support IEP goals, and create fun, engaging activities that keep children learning while they're having fun. Whether it's crafts, games, reading, outdoor play, or hands-on activities, I enjoy finding ways to keep kids happy, active, and engaged. I'm patient, reliable, and understand that every child is different. My goal is always to make children feel safe, supported, and comfortable while giving parents peace of mind. I'm also a big animal lover! I have three pets of my own, so I'm happy to care for dogs, cats, or other pets if needed. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide a fun, caring, and dependable environment for your children!

I have spent the last few years babysitting on and off for neighbors and friends! Most of my experience is with 3-10 year olds and then I spend the summers coaching kids lacrosse ages 5-18 so I pretty much am comfortable with all ages. I am used to cooking, cleaning, going to parks, getting kids to bed, and coming up with a bunch of other activities. I love getting outdoors and bringing out my inner child with them as well so I always look forward to being with kids!
