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 have been taking care of children since I was a little girl. I grew up with a lot of siblings and cousins so I can care for children of all ages. I am home from college for the summer and looking to find a job that will allow me to make money but not take me completely away from my family.

Hi Families! I've been babysitting for 7 years and truly love working with children. I'm available for daytime care as well as evenings for date nights, and I'm CPR/First Aid certified, with additional training as a Safe Sleep Ambassador. While I can care for children of all ages, infants especially hold a special place in my heart. I also have experience working with special needs children, and I always prioritize creating a comfortable and caring environment for them. I enjoy teaching new skills, doing crafts, exploring outdoors, and, most importantly, building strong relationships with the children I care for. My goal is to provide parents with peace of mind, knowing that their little ones are in safe, loving hands. I have plenty of references from families I've worked with, and I'd be happy to share them with you upon request. With a flexible schedule, I'm available to help even on short notice. I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully working with your family!

I love babysitting because it brings joy to how I impact parents and children’s lives. I’m the eldest daughter of four, so I grew up raising them. Learning at a young age how to cook, clean, and look after younger children. I have worked at a daycare for about a year. The age groups I took care of were infants and 1-3 year olds. I am certified in many skills like CPR and First Aid.
