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.

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.

I've always loved working with kids and have experience caring for children from infants to 12 years old. I started by volunteering at my church daycare for two years, where I learned how rewarding it is to help little ones grow and learn. Since then, I've worked with a set of twins (3 months old), a 4-year-old, and a 6-year-old, and I also spent two years at the YMCA as a swim instructor and camp counselor. In September 2025, I joined Oliver's Nannies and have since worked with two wonderful families-one with kids ages 8 and 10, and another with a sweet 15-month-old. I'm First Aid, CPR, and AED certified, and I have all my clearances, including child abuse history, sex offender, and FBI background checks. I'm 18 years old, have my driver's license, and a reliable car, and I truly enjoy building positive, fun, and safe relationships with every child I care for. If you're interested I can always bring all my printed out clearances and certificates to show you if you would like to hire me/do an in-person interview.
