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. Child care providers go through an identity verification process Berbix when registering an account.

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 am a certified Early and Elementary teacher and have taught grades 1-3 for 16 years and am currently a preschool teacher. I’m a non-smoker and animal lover and I am also CPR certified and have my PA clearances. I have availability for child care needs and would love to provide flexible care including part-time or drop-in care. I could entertain school-age or preschool children while you are at work or even working from home. I teach during the day but can provide care for an evening out and can assist with homework help or feeding and bedtime. About me: I’m a mom of two grown babies. Working with children is my passion. During my free time I love to hike and be outdoors. I’m also a certified yoga instructor. When my kids were younger I operated a state licensed family daycare home. I’d love to chat with you about your specific family needs and come up with tailored care for your kiddos. Education and certifications: Carlow University graduate majored in Early and Elementary education Master degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Lesley University Lower Elementary Montessori certification from Seacoast Montessori

Cheryl was absolutely incredible with our little one. We found her last minute and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She took our little one outside for activities, fed her dinner, and put her to down for bed time. Cheryl was ok with using cloth diapers and she even did a load of laundry, which we didn’t ask to do but was very thankful for. Cannot recommend enough!!!!

Lea watched my kids (2 and 4) when we were in a bind with after school care. She was responsible, reliable, attentive, showed up on time, and my kids loved her. I will definitely use her again.
