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.

My name is Cristy. I have worked in the schools system for 15+years but before that I worked at a daycare for 7 years. I have a daughter that is 24, graduated college, and moved away. I do not have a 9-5 job and I miss being around babies! I have experience in planning learning activities for little ones to cooking for them to nourish their little bodies. Contrary to beliefs, I love doing laundry. So a little light house cleaning is not a problem!

Cristy was phenomenal with our two little girls (4 & 2 yo)! She just jumped right in from the first moment and connected with both my girls. She provided them with safe fun all week while we were traveling in the area. The girls engaged in water activities, played at the playground, bubbles, nature walks and so much more. She was flexible and adapted well throughout the day and went the extra mile because she wanted to. I would absolutely recommend her and I wished we lived closer because my girls just love her! Warning: warm hugs and snacks included ❤️

I have worked as PreK Teacher for the past 15 years. Covid summer I had a group of previous students who needed child care. We put together a summer camp and explored the mountains, creeks, and learned how to roller skate. When school started I continued with the virtual Kindergarten and her almost 3 year old brother. I have experience with PreK and Kindergarten. My experience working with virtual Kindergarten this past year has made me a stronger PreK Teacher. I am available for homeschooling for PreK and Kindergarten for the 2021/22 school year.
