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.

I am a 62 year old widow and a life-long caregiver -- recently caring for my two lovely granddaughters several days a week (both were premature at birth) and also raising my four children (3 boys, 1 girl) in the Perrysburg area. I have also taken care of neighborhood children during the summer months and have babysat since I was twelve years old. I also have provided elder care for extended periods of time. I don't mind caring for children that are sick as I have years of experience doing so and own a Jeep which is reliable transportation even in the winter months. I am an excellent cook as well.

I recently graduated college with my Bachelor of Science in South Carolina, but I am looking to work with kids until I finishing my nursing degree that I am now pursuing. I am patient, hardworking, responsible, fun, caring, and trustworthy. I have a reliable car in case of emergency or transportation needs. I love the outdoors, playing soccer, spending time with friends and family, cooking, cleaning, picking up new hobbies, etc. I have always loved babysitting and have 7 years of paid experience. Some of my recent experience includes working at a daycare program, teaching preschool, and nannying a 4 month old. I would love to help out as little or as much as needed. I like to be hands on when I babysit and spend meaningful time when a child is in my care. I would love to get in touch and answer any further questions!
