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.

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them.

I love being a sitter because it helps me prepare for the future of when I have kids of my own. I also enjoy making the kids smile and laugh. I’m the oldest of three boys so I have experience from my brothers and watching my mom’s friends kids. I have experience with kids with autism as two of my brothers have it and have different spectrums. I have been cpr and first aid certified before and is willing to get recertifited for the families im babysitting for. I’m an excellent cleaner so I don’t mind helping out with house work.

When you start sitting from a young age, you learn a few things down the road. 8 years later, I've learned that what I love about sitting is the bond created with the families I've sat for. Not to mention, watching the children grow into beautiful, smart, and gifted human beings. It is truly a privilege to be entrusted with the opportunity to support the development and success of the child/children in my care. I have worked with children ages two to as old as sixteen. I love to create less screen time activities! Allowing children to grow in their own creativity. I currently work at a preschool as a teachers assistant! Please feel free to contact me with any questions. We can discuss availability together!
