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. Some additional safety measures include Family Watchdog screening, babysitter and nanny reviews, and secure messaging.

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.

Last-minute, school and tutoring, date nights—find the right babysitters for you.

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.

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.

I graduated from Penn State in 2022 with my bachelors degree in Elementary Education, I am also certified to teach pre k-4. I have been babysitting for younger children since I was 16 years old. I love working with children and feel quite comfortable with all ages of children. Also I have owned a dog my whole life and have watched and cared for many dogs in my neighborhood when my neighbors are away. A few summers ago I had the opportunity to work at the YMCA summer camp and had an amazing time working with all the children. I have all my certifications. Last school year, I worked at an elementary school as a one on one. It was a great experience. This year I am a building sub at a near by district. Overall, I have a lot of experience with children and love working with them. Nothing makes me happier then seeing children smile and have fun. The more experience I have with children, the more it will help me to become a future teacher.

I have a wonderful young son. I started babysitting when I was a teenager so I have a lot of experience. I enjoy helping people, children, parents and families I know what it's like to need reliable experienced help even more now that I am a mommy too. I am a Full time Mommy but I would still like to get out into the work force again even if it's just for a few hours part time. My son is in school now so I am looking for some part time day time hours for when he is in school. I work part time at a grocery store weekday evenings and weekends. Have a good day.
