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.

Hello! My name is Lexi. I’m 34 years old. I’ve been babysitting for 19 years. I love kids of any age as well as animals. I’m currently going to school full time, therefore I’m available on Fridays any time after 5:30 p.m., Saturdays after 12:30 p.m., and Sunday’s after 12:30 p.m. I’m willing to help any families with their children and/or pets. I’ve worked with children of all ages with special needs, was a nursing assistant for the elderly for 9 years. I will work with you on whatever you’re able to afford or willing to pay. I’m not picky at all. I grew up in Perrysburg, but I currently live in the Toledo area but I’m willing to go anywhere. I have to replace my transmission in my car, so unfortunately I can not come to you, but if you pick me up before you have to leave for your plans out, and are able to bring me home after, I will charge whatever you think would be fair. I’m very flexible and open to what you need during those times. I will stay as late as you need, also. I can also do any household chores if needed. Looking forward to hearing from you! My phone number is 419-360-5371. 😊
