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.

Hello! My name is Keira I am 20 years old and am currently a university student finishing up freshman year. I have been babysitting for quite some time but have been doing it more seriously for two years. I took a training program a few years back through the YMCA program where I learned CPR and other first aid training. I love kids and have worked with a wide range of ages the youngest being four months and the oldest being 14 years old. Last year I was also an assistant coach for a youth hockey team. Not only do I hope to help you look after your child but also assist you around the home where needed. I tend to follow the parents lead when it comes to communication, house rules, and kinds of activities to do with the child. I am a friendly outgoing person who hopes to help you and your child.

Keira helped me out this summer with my kids and occasional dog sitting needs. She is very personable, prompt, and flexible when it comes to helping out. I would highly recommend her and would use her again without hesitation.

Hello! I have been taking care of children most of my life. I am the eldest of 9, I am the mom to a 17 year old and I have three nephews who I adore. I am looking to help out for the occasional date night or after school pickup. I know what it’s like to never get out or have an emergency and no one is available to help! I am also missing having little babes to spend time with. I have a masters degree and I work full time with the military. I can pass drug/background checks. I also have references.
