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.

I've always had joy in working with children. I believe they are a constant source of joy and creativity, and I love helping them learn and grow. I have experience working as a babysitter and have cared for children of all ages throughout my life including family members, nephews, children of friends and neighbors. What makes me different is that I adapt to any situation, I am empathetic with children and I am not easily frustrated, I have experience with toddlers that are sometimes difficult but in this time I have been able to learn to handle certain situations. What makes me different is that I usually play with them, I don't just watch them play unless I have a task like washing dishes or something the child has messed up. One of the reasons why I am an excellent babysitter is that I am very responsible and reliable, I am always on time and follow the instructions of each family and I make sure that the children are safe and happy when they are in my care. I am also very patient and enjoy spending time with the children. I am also a native Spanish speaker and it can be a great advantage if you want your children to learn another language, I will gladly teach them🩷🧡💛💚
