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. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

ENGAGING AND CARING CHILDCARE PROVIDER :) Hello! My name is Grace, and I bring over five years of hands-on childcare experience, including the past two years as a teaching aide in Paris. As the oldest of six siblings, I naturally grew into the role of a big sister, babysitter, and tutor-so caring for children is second nature to me! I'm passionate about creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment for kids of all ages. Whether we're inventing new games, diving into arts and crafts, or working on homework together, I always aim to spark creativity and curiosity. I’m also happy to help with cooking and cleaning, and I strive to involve children in age-appropriate tasks that make them feel capable and included. In addition to childcare, I’m great with pets (I have a dog and two cats of my own!), and I take safety seriously (I was a certified lifeguard for four years and have been trained in First Aid and CPR multiple times). I look forward to hearing from you! Please let me know if you have any questions.
