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.

I just graduated college with my Bachelor of Science, and I am looking to work with kids until I start my doctorate program. 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 experience. I currently have experience working at a daycare program 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!

Hi! My name is Rachel and I have about 20 years of experience with children. I started babysitting when I was 13, volunteered at my local church nursery, youth groups and sunday school. I have worked the summer Safety Town program in Perrysburg and worked at the first indoor inflatable play place called Monkey Jump(no longer in business). I was also a lead teacher at local toledo daycare for 10 years where I worked in the infant, toddler, preschool and school age rooms before leaving to help take care of aging parents. I have been a private family nanny here and there in all of that but most importantly I am the oldest sibling of 4 kids, 2 of which have higher functioning special needs and an aunt to amazing nephews! I also have my own car and valid drivers license. Id love to chat with you and see if we could find a good fit!
