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.

Hi! My name is Willow, and I am a recent college graduate in Burlington! I adore children and love to get to know them as unique individuals by implementing what I have learned across ages and stages. A recent graduate of Stanford University, I have years of experience: four summers as a sleep-away camp staff member, an elementary substitute in NY, over 200 hours as a student assistant at Bing Nursery School in CA, various long- and short-term babysitting roles, and more. Rest assured, I am also Wilderness First Aid certified, which includes CPR and Epinephrine administration. As a sitter, my main skills include: my zest for life, bright energy, calm problem-solving, creative and engaging activities, and genuine love for children. My Early Childhood Education coursework has further prepared me to support and engage your children as the individuals they are. I would love the opportunity to work full-time for a family with one or two children. Thank you for your time and consideration!
