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. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

Hi~! I'm Brooklyn and I'd love to help you out~! ^-^ In the past, I have volunteered with MOPS (a paid position) and MOO, both for short periods of time. I really enjoy helping kids learn, and I like becoming a friend that they can trust and confide in whenever they need help. Being homeschooled for many years myself, I often helped out my own sibling with schoolwork and discovered that I was passionate about helping others and teaching. If you have any pets, no worries~! I've always been an animal lover and I'm fine with most household pets as long as they are friendly and not aggressive. <3 A fun, random fact about me: I've been learning Korean for 5 years and have no intention of stopping~! ^^ <3 I can clean, make meals and snacks, and don't mind getting my hands dirty. If you're looking for someone who is friendly, patient, and responsible, then I hope you'll consider me for any help you need. ^-^ Thank you for taking the time to read my bio, I look forward to hopefully working with you~!!

I love working with kids and helping them learn, grow, and feel safe while having fun. As a daycare teacher and a mom, I understand how important it is for families to have someone they can trust. I do work full-time at the daycare so I’m only available evenings/nights, holidays, and weekends. I have experience caring for children of different ages and am comfortable with routines like meals, naps, and playtime. I’ve built strong responsibility, leadership, and communication skills through my college experience. I’m also CPR certified and focused on providing a safe, clean environment. My goal is to keep your child happy and safe while giving you peace of mind!
