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.

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.

Hello! I have been babysitting for about 7 years with children of all ages. I especially love watching babies and toddlers because I've been around them so much. Ive been babysitting since I was 13 when I took an American Red Cross Babysitting Course. I love older children as well because they're so fun to play with and keep entertained! I've also taken care of a 6 year old with ADHD for several months, day and night so I have very good experience with that, and children with special needs. I have a huge heart and a love for children and would love to help you with yours. I'm honest, trustworthy, caring, kind hearted, energetic, playful & hard working. I also love to clean as a bonus! I was in the Navy for almost a year but sadly I was discharged with a Honorable Medical Separation, for mild anxiety (basically, I was discharged unwillingly for a problem that wasnt even a problem..). I was an electronics technician in the military and when I was discharged (in November 2012) moved to Norfolk with my boyfriend who is stationed at JEB Little Creek and began working as a sitter/nanny. In mid July 2013 I moved home (PA) to work with my dad in construction (so I guess you can say Im a hard worker) and have remained in PA since. Ive had my share of getting into trouble which I will completely be honest about if you ask, and can do a background check, I was young and dumb and made some poor decisions which I have lied about but Ive grown up and realized m mistakes and haven't had to learn any more lessons the hard way.

I love being a sitter because I enjoy helping children learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and caring environment. As a parent myself, I understand how important it is for families to have someone they can trust with their children. My skills include creating a safe environment, helping with routines, preparing simple meals, and providing attentive, compassionate care. I believe every child deserves to feel comfortable, supported, and cared for.
