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. Some additional safety measures include Family Watchdog screening, babysitter and nanny reviews, and secure messaging.

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 37-year-old college graduate, wife and "bonus mom" ie. Stepmom, of two young women. I've always loved kids; I started babysitting/providing after school care for children at the early age of 12. I have worked as a full time and part-time nanny for many families over the years; providing all day, after school, weekend or date night care. I have also worked in childcare at my church, overseas and as the Director of Childcare for a nonprofit, overseeing all of their caregivers. I have worked with many different ages and numbers of children, but specialize in infant care and have experience with Multiples. I cook meals, do laundry, create games and make crafts, as well as being proficient, caring and patient with your child's individual needs. I look forward to providing excellent care for your family! *Resume, and clearances available to view upon request. *Rates fluctuate depending on location, number/ages of children and expectations of care.

I have known Maria for 20 years, and I truly cannot recommend her enough! She has been caring for my children since they were born, and now that they are 6 and 3, she has become such a special part of our family. My children absolutely adore her and lovingly call her “Auntie Ria.” Maria has all the education, experience, and background qualifications you could want in a childcare provider, but what truly sets her apart is the person she is. She is patient, understanding, respectful of my wishes as a parent, and completely nonjudgmental. I have always felt comfortable communicating my preferences with her and knowing that she respects our family’s values and parenting choices. Maria is also incredibly fun and engaging with the kids! Her involvement in local theater brings out her playful, creative side, and she has such a natural way of connecting with children. She knows how to make them laugh, engage their imaginations, and make every moment enjoyable while still providing the care and attention they need. Finding someone you trust with your children is one of the most important decisions a parent can make, and having known Maria for two decades, I can confidently say that she is someone you can trust. She genuinely cares about the children she looks after, and that love shines through in everything she does. Maria is so much more than a babysitter to our family, she is someone we love, trust, and are incredibly grateful to have in our lives. Any family would be lucky to have her caring for their children! ❤️

Simone is an exceptional caregiver — warm, loving, and deeply attentive to the children in her care. She began looking after our daughter when she was just 4 months old, and from the very start she showed a natural ability to engage, nurture, and bond with her. Our toddler son adores her just as much. She was always reliable, punctual, and even helped keep the house organized — which as any parent knows, is a lifesaver. We are going to miss her so, so much. She became a part of our family, and whoever is lucky enough to have her next is in truly wonderful hands. We recommend her without any hesitation! ❤️

If you are looking for a reliable, kind, and trustworthy babysitter, I highly recommend Jackie. She is always on time, transparent about her rate, and very flexible with helping out with light chores around the house. She proactively asks how she can help. Most importantly, she is wonderful with our young toddler. Our little one completely adores her and still remembers Jackie days later!
