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. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

Hello! My name is Haley. While I only have 2 years of professional child care experience I am so excited to continue to care for all the littles. I have 7 nieces and a nephew ranging ages 6 months to 12 years! I was only 9 when I started babysitting my oldest niece and have continued to be the go to until most of them recently moved out of state. When they all moved, my day to day felt so empty and that’s when I decided this is exactly what I want to do professionally! I am experienced in all ages but most particularly newborn-3 years. I have my own transportation so if mom needs errands done or the kids need out of the house I can do it all! Outside of babysitting I love all animals! I foster, rescue, rehabilitate and rehome mostly dogs but have never turned away an animal in need! Most importantly my first priority will always be safety and building a connection with the kids and their family!
