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.

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.

Hello! I’m Becky!😊I now live in Bensalem, PA. I no longer live in Lambertville, NJ. I have a passion for kids, and I love to babysit/nanny. I’m currently in nursing school, and I hope to specialize in pediatric nursing. I currently have a Bachelors degree in public health, but I wanted to go back to school for my degree in nursing. I love kids! Whenever I babysit/nanny kids I help them with their homework, I drop them off and pick them up from school, I drive them to appointments, and I do other tasks that the parents need me to do. I also did a background check & motor vehicle check. For my background check, I’m all good. I can email you a copy of my background check report. But for some strange reason my motor vehicle check shows I didn’t meet minimum requirements. Back in 2019, I accidentally forgot to yield at a stop sign, and I got a ticket for it. So that’s why my motor vehicle report says I don’t meet minimum requirements. I’ve never had a DUI or anything major like that. I am a good driver! My driver’s license is in good standing. So I am able to drive your kids to school or doctors appointments & they’ll arrive there safely. But I’d also be more than happy to email you a copy of my motor vehicle report and my background check report if you’d like. I have a huge passion for kids, and I would love to babysit/nanny for your family! Thank you!
