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.

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.

Hi! I’m Lexi:) (short for Alexia!) – a passionate and dedicated caregiver with a heart for children. I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Education and a minor in Psychology, and I’ve spent the past three years actively working in elementary schools, gaining hands-on experience with children of all ages and needs. In addition to my classroom experience, I’ve babysat during college and have lovingly cared for my nieces and nephews every summer. These personal and professional experiences have deepened my love for working with kids and strengthened my understanding of child development, behavior, and emotional needs. I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children to thrive. Whether it’s helping with homework, reading a favorite story, or engaging in creative play, I am committed to making sure your child feels happy, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. You can count on me to treat your children with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own family. I look forward to becoming a trusted part of your child’s life!
