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.

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.

Last-minute, school and tutoring, date nights—find the right babysitters for you.

My husband and I had not been away for 8 years, as I was so worried about leaving my horses with anyone. One of them has a tendency to colic on occasion and also has a very difficult personality, in addition to being a senior. We really needed to get away, and I was lucky to find Rose. I was as comfortable as I could have possibly been leaving them, and because of her, I was able to enjoy my vacation. I knew that if anything happened, she would be able to handle it. She texted me frequent updates and she did a great job. It rained like crazy, and she kept everything clean and in order. I had asked her to keep the run in shed and paddock mucked, which is no small task in the mud. When I got home, I found no trace of manure at all. It was cleaner than even I would have kept it, as was my house! The only evidence that she had even been there was her bath towel neatly hung up to dry, and my horses' evening beet pulp left to soak and ready to feed. She had even emptied the kitchen and bathroom trash before leaving. Since she cared for my horses, Rose and I have kept in touch and become quite friendly, and I have learned just how much she genuinely cares about animals. I will definitely use her again.

At the age of 14, my ADVENTURE of babysitting began. Living in a gated-community, I drove my bike 10 minutes away to a families home in which I would get their 7 year old off the bus and ‘play’ (I viewed babysitting as something fun to do) with him for a few hours. Since then, I have created many more adventures with numerous families and kiddos of all ages! From building Lego sets, finding arts & crafts ideas, helping parents and kiddos through the horrors of online schooling during COVID-19, going from reading picture books-to-chapter books, being able to see these young future leaders grow; all while I am growing and learning more myself! I completed my Associates Degree - Associates in Science at Harrisburg Community College in 2021. After completing over 70 early education credits, I then transferred to Shippensburg University. I am going into my final semester of my school career (well where I’m the one attending… for now!). In Fall of 2023, I will be starting my semester of student teaching, very exciting! I will be graduating from Shippensburg with a Bachelor’s degree in Early Education PreK-4. I then plan on becoming a full-time sub at a local school district to get even more experience and education in the real-world! I hope to teach either 2 or 3 grade for a few years and eventually resume my studies at Ship for my Masters Degree in Special Education!

Hi! My name is Victoria. I semi-recently graduated from Stevenson University May of 2022, studying Criminal Justice with a focus in Psychology. Since graduating, i was hired as Behavioral Health Technician working with behaviorally challenged children as well as special needs children. While I love my job and the amazing work experience it offers, I would also like to step back into child care part time, and full time when the time is right. I have all current background checks for the state of MD, PA, and Federal as well as many certifications such as first aid, CPR, ABA, and so forth. I am kind, easy going, communicative, and enjoy working with kids of all ages. I personally prefer pre-scheduled & in person interviews when meeting the family!
