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.

Anastasia is more than a nanny, she is now part of our family. She gave wonderful, patient, loving care to my girls. They now attend the school where I work so sadly we don't see her every day now, but she'll be part of our family forever! She knows a LOT about children, having raised 5 of her own, and treated my girls like her children. They adore her and she them. I can't say enough good things about her. She was reliable, patient, never raised her voice, and was very engaged with them. She also helped me a lot with things like kid laundry and seasonal clothing rotations. I'd be happy to talk more if you have any questions. She's a rare find to be sure.

Hi! My name is María and I’m the second oldest of 9 children so childcare is second nature to me. I’ve been babysitting since I was 13 years old and have babysat kids as young as 3 months and as old as 14. My previous experience includes sitting at homes, overnight, and other determined locations.

Maria was amazing! We interviewed her in April 2025, and both my husband and I were very impressed. We had her for a trial day, and our newborn (8 weeks!) loved her. She arrived on time and was incredibly polite and proactive. Maria jumped right in, and while our little one was napping, she helped with cleaning up bottles, washing baby clothes, etc. When baby woke up, Maria read her stories and played with her on the bouncer. We plan to have her spend time with our little one again soon.
