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.

Hello! My name is Brodie and I am a kindhearted individual who is compassionate about children and their development. I have been working towards my BA in Early Childhood Education, but have decided to take some time off to work. I have seven years of experience working with and caring for children of all ages, from newborn to 12-years. My experience includes caring for children in their home, working at an in-home daycare and two licensed centers, as well as volunteering at a therapeutic horseback riding center for children with disabilities. I believe it's important to provide a fun, positive learning environment for children to learn and grow in. I like to engage children in new learning experiences, reading, arts and crafts, music and drama, science and math, snack and meal preparation, and exploring the outdoors! Additionally, I am CPR/First Aid certified, have my food handler's certification, and am registered in Oregon's Online Central Background Registry Step 7.5 (referral number available upon request). I also have a clean driving record as well as insurance. Thank you for your time and consideration! I look forward to hearing from you.

I want to be a babysitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. It’s a blast to play games, help with homework, and watch them grow. Plus, it’s rewarding to create a fun, safe space where they can be themselves and explore new ideas!

Hello! My name is Karen and like many others during Covid, I unfortunately lost one of my jobs recently and my income has been heavily reduced. I do have experience in babysitting all age ranges of kids, I mostly babysat for my sisters kids from when they were newborns till she had left our house for her own but I have also babysat for non family members and gotten paid for it . So the specific ranges I would say is newborns till about 8 or 9 years old. I can provide references but if you have any questions feel free to ask any you would like. I look forward to meeting your family and wonderful kids if you would grant me the opportunity. Thank you for your time.
