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.

Every since the day we first met Sarita, she has been the number one topic for my children! I really appreciate her for making her home comfortable for my three daughters. The app Brightwheels is really a GREAT feature as well to keep track of the children daily report, from what they ate to pictures of them enjoying themselves. I am beyond thankful that our FIRST time looking for childcare was a SUCCESS!!!

Kayla was great with our two year old! They played outside and inside, and when we came home my daughter was enthusiastic to tell me everything they did together. She requested that Kayla come back to play! She was on time and easy to communicate with.

I believe the brightness and color in the world is from the light of kids. They bring joy and life-changing lessons. Personally, my biggest rule is that kids deserve respect, too. They are the future of this world, so I take much pride in making sure they get great care. I've been babysitting since I was 14, I also volunteered at a church for years, teaching Bible studies on sundays and I helped coach gymnastic special Olympics team and traveled with them to compete. In the 2023 I was a paid full time caregiver for a newborn- toddler for a little over a year, from wake up to 5-6pm and getting ready to wind down for dinner. During my time at school, I took childhood development classes and was certified for CPR. I enjoy taking care of kids and showing them the good things in life, and I have had many different experiences.
