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. Child care providers go through an identity verification process Berbix when registering an account.

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.

Samantha was amazing. I honestly felt like I had brought a nanny on vacation. My boys are 2 and 4 and can be a handful. She redirected their energy in a positive way keeping them entertained while we skied. She was willing to work the weekends and some nights as well so we could go out to dinner. She kept them organized and was so flexible with us on our timing. She was a great communicator letting us know things were under control so we could enjoy the mountain. This is the second year we have used her in Breck and hope to use her again next year.

Hello, I am a 56 year old active lady. I have a lot of experience with children. I started babysitting at age 12, worked at two daycare centers at 16 and 19. Became a nanny at 20 to 24, then got married and had my step-daughter to help raise. At 27 I became a mother to my only son, and so he would have siblings I did foster care for 7 years and fostered 16 children. I also did daycare in my home for many years. My last job was as a special Ed bus driver. My children all loved me, snd the parents were grateful to have me as the one to drive their children because they knew I genuinely cared for their children, and my interest was always on the children’s safety and welfare.

Maya was our son's nanny for 4 months starting when he was 13 months old. We moved out of the state and had to part ways, but would still be working with her otherwise. She is caring, kind, loving, professional, and fun! She has tons of relevant experience as a caretaker, is respectful of our routines and parenting style, and is a great communicator. We gave her the nickname of “Maya Poppins”…she does it all! Our son’s face would light up when she walked through the door, and he would get sad to see her leave at the end of the day. They became very close and it was comforting to know that our son was being cared for by someone who genuinely loved him and wanted the best for him. Maya became a part of our family and we are grateful to have known and worked with her.

Alysia is going to be our Summer Nanny and we are so excited to have her join us. She is very soft-spoken and calm, qualities we are always looking for with caretakers of our three boys. She's driven and our interview was really fantastic. Alysia, can't wait to have you in May!
