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 there! I'm a 27-year-old media professional living in Nashville. I work from home which gives me a lot of flexibility. With the stress and hustle of my work day coupled with living away from my family, there’s nothing I love more than spending time with little ones — they truly are good for the soul! Before moving to Nashville 2 years ago, I spent a lot of time caring for my now 2 year old cousin. We bonded every week since he was born, and he’s had such a positive impact on my life. Babysitting him helped me realize how much passion I have for working with children. I'm a family-oriented person and have always been involved with the kids in my family, which has only deepened my love for caring for little ones. I’m also CPR and Mental Health First Aid certified. Outside of my media work, I founded a nonprofit called "Open Hearts for All" in 2017, where I focus on giving back to the community. If you'd like to learn more about me or my experience, feel free to reach out!
