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.

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them.

Hi! I have been working with children of all ages since 2010. I was the nanny for my aunt's two children as well as my little brother since they were infants (full-time during the summers, and part-time during the school year). Starting in 2019, I was the nanny for three children (ages 1, 3, and 5 when I began with them). After they moved out of state in 2022, I was a temp nanny for the sweetest 1.5 year old girl (now 3) and later her little brother. With her and her little brother now old enough to be in daycare, I am looking for another part-time nannying position. I am available to begin in early December (potentially earlier depending on the days of the week). I love art, reading, cooking, and the outdoors and would love nothing more than to share these activities with your children! I am Red-Cross certified for infant & child CPR/first aid. I am happy to provide references upon request.

My name is Valerie. I am 53 years old. My husband and I have been married for 32 years, we have two daughters, ages 23 and 20 and also we have 4 cats. I was a stay at home mother with my children. Once our youngest child went to college, I began babysitting a little boy at 2 months old in our home for 3 days a week, 9 hours a day. He is now almost 2 and ready to move on for socialization. I am looking for a family that I could help. Childcare is a very personal and important decision for a family.
