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.

Last-minute, school and tutoring, date nights—find the right babysitters for you.

Hello! My name is Karissa. I recently completed my Master’s degree in Cancer Sciences and conducted research at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. Prior to that, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology from Adelphi University. I’ve been babysitting for over seven years and truly enjoy spending time with children and pets. My long-term goal is to become a pediatric dentist, and I’ve always loved creating fun, engaging environments for the kids I care for. I’ve regularly babysat for several families and am comfortable handling bedtime routines, homework help, and coming up with fun activities like arts and crafts. I also have two dogs of my own, so I’m happy to care for pets as well! I have my own vehicle and a clean driving record, with experience driving children to and from various activities—so transportation is never an issue. A few fun facts about me: In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym, shopping, and reading. I’m also working toward learning a new language by the end of the year!

Hello Parents! My name is Tessa Derazin. I am a college student at University at Buffalo studying my undergrad majoring in nursing and minoring in education. I have 5 years of experience working in childcare. Whenever I am back home in New York City, I work at a Kindercare Manhasset daycare. I am also CPR and First aid certified. I am also fingerprinted by NYS. Since I am not able to continue working in that daycare in Buffalo, I thought it would be a great idea to start babysitting while doing my studies here. If you ever need someone to watch your kids or a few hours or even the whole day depending on my hours, I will be more than happy to do so!
