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.

I am writing this letter of recommendation for Fawn Cordova who supported our family with care for my youngest son Drew while we were on vacation at Norris Lake in Tennessee. By way of background, my youngest son has fairly significant special needs. He is a nearly 15 year old young man who has Down Syndrome and a history of epilepsy which is supported with medication. While nearly 15, Drew functionally is more like a 1-2 year old. He is small for his age, non-verbal, and he requires full support for all daily activities from eating and navigating his environment to full support for toileting. He has a great temperament and is generally a very happy young man. When seeking care for Drew, it most definitely always requires a special person who is willing to take on and then roll with the additional challenges Drew presents. In our initial conversations after Fawn applied for this position, she did not hesitate to consider the role of caring for Drew. She asked great questions and with her obvious experience was already seeking the best ways to engage and enrich Drew. The time Fawn spent with Drew over the course of the week we were in Norris was so very much appreciated. She met him where he was each day, and she brought things she thought he would enjoy (he did!) and engaged with him to ensure he had great days while the family spent time on the lake. We were even able to get Drew out on the water with Fawn’s support which he definitely enjoyed. As Fawn indicated in our initial conversations, she views her role also as caring for the entire family which was extremely evident. She took steps to make our place even more welcoming and homey. She also went out of her way to ensure common spaces were kept tidy and ready for our return in the afternoons so that everything was just a little easier for us each day. In short, I would very highly recommend Fawn to any family seeking care for not only their child or children but also to help put their own minds at ease.

Hi! I’m a 20-year-old babysitter with a big heart, tons of energy, and a genuine love for kids. I’m the kind of sitter who actually enjoys playing games, doing crafts, reading the same story five times, and turning everyday moments into fun memories. I’m responsible, patient, and always focused on making sure your child feels safe, happy, and cared for. Whether it’s homework help, bedtime routines, or keeping little ones entertained while you’re out, I’ve got it covered. Parents appreciate that I’m reliable and communicative and kids love that I’m fun and easy to talk to!

I am a mother of 3. I am energetic, creative, compassionate and patient. I homeschooled my children as we traveled around the states and world with my husband and his job. My youngest is 15 and currently doing an online high school program. This has led me to have more free time. I recently worked in daycare. I worked in the infant room for months and then became the lead teacher for 2 year olds. I love teaching children and seeing them light us as they discover something new. The biggest key with children though is making them feel loved and secure. I have had the opportunity to be a part of many children’s lives over the years. All with different personalities and backgrounds. Because of making them feel loved, secure, and special I have had the joy of a special bond with each and every one. I would love the opportunity to a part of your lives as well.

In addition to being a mom of 2 adult sons, I am a full time nanny with 20+ years of experience and with all ages. Even though I chose to go back to school and graduate as a Medical Assistant when my boys were little, it only took a few years working within the hospital to confirm my true passion is nurturing and helping little ones grow. Since then I have added caring for children with health conditions to my experience. Being accepted as part of a family, fostering a child’s development emotionally and developmentally, and teaching a kiddo through adventure and experiences is a true blessing. I am open to light housework and meal prep as needed. I have a safe driving record, and a safe and reliable vehicle. I firmly believe in open communication and punctuality. If structured learning, just a day of fun, or a healthy combo is what you are looking for I look forward to the opportunity to become a part of your family, not just an employee.
