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.

Hi! My name is Sydney, and I have several years of experience caring for children from 4 months to 13 years old. I truly enjoy supporting kids as they learn and grow, whether that means helping with homework, guiding through potty training, or planning fun, age-appropriate activities. I’m comfortable with diaper changes, mealtime routines, and even administering medical treatments when needed. I’m currently a senior pursuing my degree in Human Development and Family Studies, which has given me a strong understanding of child development and family dynamics. I bring patience, reliability, and a caring attitude to every family I work with, and I’m committed to creating a safe and positive environment for your children. I’d love the chance to support your family and make your children feel cared for and encouraged!
