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.

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.

Although Dieuline is soft-spoken and does not say much, she is very patient and kind-hearted. She is always on time, trustworthy, and follows instructions carefully. I have a daughter with autism that is not very keen on many people. However, she became comfortable with Dieuline quickly and looks forward to seeing her every week!
