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.

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.

Dynamic and responsible worker with a strong background in customer service, food preparation, and childcare. I worked at two different McDonald’s locations, where I consistently handled multiple tasks at once, including taking orders, preparing meals, cleaning, restocking, and keeping the restaurant running smoothly during high-traffic hours. I also worked at Crumbl Cookies, where I was responsible for baking, decorating cookies, maintaining a clean workspace, operating bakery equipment, and safely managing hot surfaces. In addition, I volunteered at a school with 2–4-year-old children, assisting with learning activities, supervision, and classroom support. I have also been babysitting since age 14, giving me strong experience in child safety, behavior management, and providing a caring, trustworthy environment. I am reliable, quick-learning, great under pressure, and passionate about helping others
