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.

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.

I am a conscientious, hard-working, and reliable individual with 10+ years of babysitting experience, 4+ years of nanny/au-pair/ROTA experience, and 5+ years of early childhood development and educational experience. I have been a nanny for the Bourboulon/Janssen family in Paris, France for the past two years and have dedicated my time and energy to the family and the flourishment and success of their three young children (ages 4-14). I am fluent in English and French and have extensive knowledge of both literature and art, thanks to my educational career as an art historian. This has allowed me to connect with the children I work with on a different level and creates many opportunities for extra-curricular activities and hobbies. I am extremely skilled in the kitchen and have done weekly meal prep for a family of 5 for the past two years. Other daily tasks included but were not limited to school drop-off/pick-up, schedule coordination, household cleaning, etc.

Hi! I’m Dakota, & I have a 4 year old son named camden. We live with our dog, Rain. We moved here from Virginia a couple years ago and are actively looking for new activities and friends! When I got here I attended culinary school and had a kitchen job which I loved but the schedule was to inconvenient for me and my little one. I think baby sitting would be perfect not only for me but for cam. He can make friends and I love kids !

I am the oldest of all of my siblings, cousins and basically “kids” of my family. I have always loved helping raise kids and even lived with my aunt for a year to take care of my cousins when they were little because she worked. My youngest brother is 8 so I’ve always helped out with raising him as well. I’m extremely passionate about kids and love watching them grow and change as they get older!
