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.

love being a sitter because I truly enjoy spending time with kids and creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for them. I’ve been babysitting for over six years and also worked as a camp counselor for two years, where I planned activities, supervised groups, and built strong connections with kids. I’ve been lifeguarding for over three years, which has taught me a lot about responsibility, safety awareness, and staying calm in any situation. I’m also a Division I rower at Fairfield University, which has helped me develop great time-management skills, teamwork, and reliability. I genuinely love kids and enjoy playing games, doing crafts, helping with homework, and making sure they feel happy and cared for

Hi! I am 25 years old and recently moved to Doylestown. I have found myself with quite a bit of down time when I am not working. I work full time as a therapist and have experience working with children both within my career and as a nanny/babysitter. I have since transitioned to working exclusively with adults and now I have found that I miss working with children. I am a warm, caring, and free spirited individual and I am open and flexible to meeting the various needs of your family. I do have a strict work schedule but I can be of assistance on weekends and weekday evenings and nights. I look forward to chatting!
