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.

Jan helped us with our 4 yo daughter and was great with her! She made her feel comfortable right away and kept her busy with on going activities and play ideas! Jan helped enforce the concepts she was learning in school and taught her great gross and fine motor skills and gave us detailed feedback from each day. I highly recommend Jan, she is trustworthy and exceptional.

Raquel is such an amazing babysitter/nanny. She is able to keep my 2 year old engaged the entire day. My daughter will literally tell me to leave so she can play with Raquel. Raquel has improved my daughter's vocabulary significantly. She teachers her words, sounds, shapes, letters, animals, the weather and so much more. My dajghters imagination has also increased greatly by all the pretend play Raquel does with her. Raquel is just so amazing with my daughter and I'm so glad we found her. She is never on her phone during the day and even during my daughter's nap, she continues to check on her to make sure she is ok. I highly recommend Raquel!

Nikki was a gem. I had to travel into NYC one day a week for the fall semester and needed someone for after school care. Nikki was super reliable. I never had to worry about her calling off last minute which was important as I would have had trouble getting back in time. She was great with my daughter helping her with homework and so patient with her my daughter prefered doing homework with her over me. I highly recommend her if you need someone trustworthy who is super dependable.

Hello Family, With over 11 years of experience caring for, teaching, tutoring and supporting children from toddlers to school aged, I can provide your family with the excellence you require to care for your little one as well as the overall household support. Currently, I am an at-home child daycare owner/provider. I enjoy fostering those "a-ha" moments that are often from discovering and learning. And so my home is filled with laughter, big hugs and learning. I maintain a home that is safe and clean as well as one that allows the children to move about and be children. I can describe myself as trustworthy, dependable, compassionate and flexible as well as a disciplined hard-worker who is able to meet the diverse needs and requirements of your family. I enjoy cooking (baking in particular), outdoor sports, crafts, planning events and walks. I am a mom of two and a wife for the past 18 years, so home management is second nature for me. We are also proud parents of Max, our 5 year old Chihuahua. I cook big meals on Sundays so that we can enjoy left-overs for at least until Tuesday (which has been my wish). We also celebrate junk food Fridays. I have a clean driving record, is CPR certified and I earned my Masters degree in Elementary Education in 2015. I anxiously await the opportunity to meet your family. Thank you for reading my introduction to you. Sincerely, GraceAnn Williams-Butler
