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.

Annia G.

We had a great experience with Jayti, who cared for our two children for a full week. She was reliable, punctual, and handled daily responsibilities smoothly, including picking them up from school, preparing meals, and getting them ready for bed each evening. She was calm, attentive, and engaging with the kids, which helped them feel comfortable and well cared for right away. Communication was clear and consistent, and we always felt confident that our children were in good hands. We would absolutely recommend her to other families and we are looking forward to working with her again.

Cel has been our nanny for over 3 years and cares for our two boys who are 3.5 and 5 years old. She began to care for my youngest when he was only 4 months old. Cel is extremely caring, thoughtful and dedicated. Our boys love her so much and when she leaves they say they miss her. She also helps with laundry and keeping the house tidy which always gives us a sense of being organized and clean. She is flexible and is always willing to lend a hand early, late or on the weekends. She has become a part of our family and if we could keep her forever we would! Our two boys will be in school full time next year so we no longer need help at home but Cel’s loving nature and fun attitude is going to be greatly missed. I’m not sure how we will survive without her! We would recommend her to any family in a heartbeat and know whichever family snaps her up will be extremely lucky!
