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.

I have been babysitting for as long as I can remember! I used to babysit when I was in high school for a little boy down the road from my house. I would walk down and get him off the bus and watch him until his dad came home. Before then, id always want to go over and help with my little cousins, whom I occasionally watch now. I orginally wanted to go to school for a teacher, but long story short, I didn't due to job demands. Now I work for a pharmaceutical company and do medical billing and babysit/dog sit on the side. I currently have multiple families whom I sit for when needed. They all have kids ranging from 1 year old to 12 years old. I also worked at a daycare for a year when I graduated high school with kids of all ages. I'm willing to watch your children whenever needed around my work schedule. I work Monday-Friday 7-3:30. I can do evenings, weekends, overnights, extended stays. I'm comfortable with pets. I'm able to cook, clean, help with homework. I'm pretty easy going. Whatever you need, I can pretty much do. I have a clean driving record, no accidents. I have an AWD SUV. Any questions let me know!!
