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.

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them.

I started taking care of children in early high school as a summer/weekend pastime, and continued because of how much I love the job! I currently work in a childcare center through the week and am pursuing my degree in education; I am looking for a weekend position to help fund my schooling. I am certified in First Aid and CPR through Redcross and have numerous references from the families I've previously worked for.

I recently graduated with a degree in Psychology, where I developed a strong foundation in child development and behavioral understanding. I am CPR certified, safety-focused, and confident in caring for children of all ages. I have professional nanny experience working with a family in Florida, caring for two young boys (8 months and 2 years old), and I loved being part of their daily routine and milestones. Along with nannying, I worked as an ABA therapist for children with autism for two years, giving me hands-on experience supporting children with different developmental and behavioral needs. I have also cared for multiple family members' children over the years and volunteered with several organizations supporting children and teens with special needs. I enjoy creating a fun, patient, and nurturing environment — whether that's through play, sensory activities, outdoor time, or learning-based engagement. If time allows, I love helping with housework, tidying, laundry, or meal prep to make life easier for parents. I have experience working not only with infants and children, but also with teens and adults, which has given me a calm, adaptable, and understanding approach to care. I would love to bring warmth, structure, and positivity into your child’s routine. I look forward to getting to know your family!
