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.

Hey There! My name is Chloe, I am 18 years old and I am a full time college student at Tyler Junior College. I grew up in a Family with a lot of children so I’ve always loved children. I am the second oldest child and I have 6 younger siblings. Their ages range from 16-2 years old. The 2 year olds are twin boys and I have experience with watching them quite often and my other younger siblings. I am new here, so I don’t have any other experience than that. But I love children and am always willing to help. I enjoy doing activities with kids and also teaching them new things. I am very trustworthy and am very kind and I hope I can help any family that needs it!

I hope your family is doing well! My name is Citlali, and I am a recent graduate from the City Colleges of Chicago. I have been nannying in the city and working as a teacher assistant since high school, which has provided me with over four years of experience in childcare. I was raised in Lindale, Texas, and relocated to Chicago when I was 11 years old. After earning my Associate of Arts degree in Psychology, I initially pursued a career in Law Enforcement with the Beaumont Police Department. However, I have come to realize that this path is not for me, and I wish to return to childcare while moving closer to my family in Lindale. I am looking forward to meeting your wonderful family!

I love working with children. I have worked with children on and off for the past 21 years. I received an associate’s degree in 3D animation and design , but chose to work with kids because I really enjoy teaching. I taught for Trinity Episcopal School in Marshall TX as a 3-year-old teacher. I have had CPR training as well as first aid in the past. I will need to re-certify. I have worked with infants all the way up to high school.
