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.

Hi! My name is Jasmyne, and I absolutely love working with children. Watching kids learn, grow, and discover their personalities is one of my favorite parts of being a sitter. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. I have almost ten years of babysitting experience and spent four years working in a daycare, where I cared for children of various ages, from infants to school-aged kids. Through these experiences, I’ve gained strong skills in managing routines, helping with homework, assisting with meals, planning activities, and supporting different learning styles and personalities. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have all of my background checks and clearances completed. Safety is extremely important to me, and I always prioritize supervision and communication. I’m patient, dependable, and organized, and I believe in balancing fun with structure. Whether it’s helping with daily routines, encouraging learning through play, or simply being a caring and reliable presence, I’m passionate about supporting families and making their lives a little easier. I look forward to meeting your family!
