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. Child care providers go through an identity verification process Berbix when registering an account.

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.

My two boys adored her. Our youngest typically screams when my wife leaves, but he was very comfortable around her making our leave painless.

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.

I love the natural curiosity of children as well as their zest for life. I also love to teach. I am a certified teacher. I currently work as an after school tutor for elementary and middle school students. I spent my college years working in daycare centers. My student teaching experience was with third graders. I did substitute teaching for kindergarten through middle school in Austin area before being hired as a first grade teacher at an Austin charter school. I taught for two years but then decided to stay home with my own 3 children to homeschool. They are young adults now. I’m now looking to do some part time work that is meaningful and fulfilling. Thank you for your consideration!

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.

My family and I are so sad to see Ada move to another state and leave our family. She has been such a wonderful addition for us and I could not speak highly enough of her. She has been with our family since my son was one week old, and he is now about to turn 2. He was our first child so we had many worries and questions at first, but she was so calm and knew just want to do in every situation. She is exceptional in her handling of newborns and our son has grown to be very fond of her. She practiced tummy time and did all of the routines and exercises they recommend for babies. She kept our house tidy and organized and took the initiative to do so without my having to tell her to do so. During nap times, she would always keep herself busy either doing laundry, walking my dogs, cleaning toys and play areas, dishes, etc. A major component to us working so well together is how flexible she is. She was able and willing to adjust her schedule to make it work best with mine at a moment's notice. She also traveled with us to allow us time to relax on trips, which we would not have been able to do without her. She got along very well with my whole family, including our extended family, and we are all very sad to see her go.

Hi there! I'm currently searching for a wonderful family to work with. I have experience working with kids and currently work at a Highschool as a child nutrition specialist. I have a reliable car, a clean driving record, and I absolutely adore working with kids. My older sister, who is a professional Nanny Manager/Personal Assistant, has taught me a lot. I enjoy meal prepping, planning, organizing, and anything creative! I'm not the type of babysitter who just sits on the couch all day. I love engaging with the kiddos through imaginary play, baking, outdoor activities, and arts and crafts! I have experience tutoring, test preparation/studying, and helping kids find exciting and fun ways to learn! The perfect family for me would value good communication and treat me like family. I'm looking for a year-long commitment and would love to work with the family for many years to come!
