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.

Izzy is a kind and compassionate babysitter whom our girls love! She is always punctual and communicative throughout the night. She takes great care of our girls and leaves our home in better shape than we left it. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone who will play with their children and keep them entertained for hours!

Hi My name is Danielle and I am a former Nanny/Babysitter not to mention I have raised 5 children whom gave me 14 beautiful grandchildren.I treat all children as my own grandchildren.I have been caring for children for years.I had my own in home daycare when my children were growing up and after they were old enough to go to school I tried to work as a Nursing assistant although I enjoyed it.I still longed for becoming a Nanny and I started caring for a little boy in Glenmore until he was a 1 1/2 but unfortunately things happen and Mom had got transferred I was devastated.After a few weeks I applied with another couple in Chester Springs and I got the job caring for a little baby named Joey he was 3mths at the time I had so much fun we did crafts, library, read lots of books ECT.And then he became a big brother to a little girl Rory and I Nannyed both of them until the second week of August 2024 when Mom got laid off.I was so upset since I was with them for almost 3years! I would love to care for your little ones as I love to watch them grow in there own little ways as every child is special! I have references and plenty of experience and will treat every child with lots of love! If Interested in speaking with me just reach out !

We loved working with Danielle. As new parents with a baby that arrived 3 weeks early, she was such a great resource! Not to mention our baby boy fell asleep in her arms the first time he met her. Danielle gave me great peace of mind as a new mom heading back to work. I would highly recommend Danielle a your little ones would be in great and experienced hands.

I have a passion for providing tender loving care for babies as they grow and develop. I am a warm, patient, and dedicated person who loves caring for infants…As the oldest of 8 children, having many cousins ,volunteering to help out young moms and officially babysitting 2 children under 2 years of age as a job,(Please see my review), I have had a lifetime experience of relating to infants and it isn’t ’just a job’ to me. My own hysterectomy came as a surprise blow, but now I find purpose in providing childcare for others…I have done CPR and First Aid Trainings in the past which I am completing again for refreshment of skills and for the honor of getting the badge! I also completed a Basic Criminal Check. I did the Motor Vehicle Records Check and you can contact me for those records. I can work with you and your work schedule.I look forward to meeting you and your little precious!🥰

Alissa was amazing with my kids. They looked forward to seeing her every day, and some days they didn’t want to leave when I came to pick them up. She went above and beyond in her care of them. She was always looking for ways to make them happy, and made them feel so special when they were in her care. We loved Alissa and were sad to lose her when she had to move.

I love being a sitter because you get to help be apart of a supportive environment for the kids and giving them a safe space. I have been babysitting since I was 10 years old but just recently in the past couple years started to get paid. I have both my CPR and First Aid Certifications, I currently work at a retirement facility giving care to residents and distributing meds as well as helping with day-to-day daily tasks.

I would love to be a sitter because I have 5 nieces of my own and have always found it incredibly easy to connect to kids. I am also currently in college to be a early childhood educator and so I am very passionate in child development and creating an environment of love and safety to children to grow in. I am currently employed by a daycare in Morgantown, well I love my job. I would love something a bit more personal, which is why I’m looking for a Babysitting opportunity.
