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.

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.

Candace was extremely helpful to my family getting my sons to and from their activities. She is very reliable and a great communicator. She worked with us over several months, and always gave us plenty of heads up with any schedule changes, and was flexible to our changes as well. She's a great influence/role model for any kid.

Caroline was great with a tough first time with us. We had 2 toddlers, a disorganized disaster of a house, and bedtime to deal with. Caroline went above and beyond, worked very efficiently, and is extremely patient and calm. We already booked her for another sit.
