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.

Two years experience as a nanny, one year experience teaching in daycare, and 20 years experience as an enthusiastic aunt of 12 children! I am certified in first aid and CPR, including infant CPR. I can babysit all ages and am most comfortable with kids ages 0 through 7. I am an active babysitter who likes to engage kids in games, art, and make-believe rather than relying on screens. I can also help with potty training, learning to read, homework, and bedtime.

I am currently a college student, at the University of Oklahoma, on the nursing track with a strong passion for patient care and child development. I am from Allen, Tx, looking for a summer nannying or babysitting job! I have 4–5 years of hands-on experience working with children in a variety of settings, where I developed strong communication, patience, and caregiving skills. Through these experiences, I have learned how to create safe, supportive environments, manage responsibilities effectively, and respond calmly to challenging situations. My academic background in nursing, combined with my practical experience with children, has strengthened my commitment to providing compassionate, attentive, and reliable care.

Hi! My name is Shayna Moss and I am from Aurora CO. I am currently in College at the University of Oklahoma studying journalism. I love babysitting because you get to build a relationship with a kid like no other. You get to have this amazing friendship, but these kids also look up to you so much. I've been "babysitting" since I was 9 because I have a younger sister but, I've been babysitting for other families since I was about 15. I was also a lifeguard so I have training in CPR and all things safety. If you’d like to reach me please call or text 720-232-9877. Can wait to meet you!
