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 have 2 nieces and a nephew that I adore. Being around children gives you a fresh perspective that is needed within adult minds. I used to work at a daycare for about a year with kids ranging from month old babies to middle school children. I volunteered for the zoo and helped with the zoo camp. I also was able to teach a couple lessons to second graders. I used to tutor high school students and help them out with their homework. I also used to babysit and value outside time to play.

***I offer childcare in my own home as I currently care for my elderly parents.*** Hello! I’m Caitlin and thank you so much for taking the time out to check my page out! I am a veteran of Sittercity and have had quite a few families choose me as their caregiver for their children and I am more than happy to give their information to use as references! I like to do educational and value style of interactions as well as a lot of fun outdoor activities as much as the weather allows! If weather pushes us indoors, we do board games and crafts, as well as group activities so no one feels left out!

Hi, my name is Nicole, and I'm an experienced babysitter available to help you and your kids. I started babysitting around the age of 13 and by 16 had a regular after school babysitting job for a family I am still close with today. In past summers I was a summer camp counselor where I was able to work with kids of ages 5-16 of all different backgrounds. I also have experience in long term full time positions. I enjoy reading, writing, and art. Most importantly I love kids! I'm currently taking classes online to get my degree which gives me open availability and a flexible schedule. I have reliable references upon request. I am in Cleveland and have my own transportation so that is not a problem.
