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. Wherever your child's interests lie, child care providers on Sittercity can engage them in a nurturing way.

Last-minute, school and tutoring, date nights—find the right babysitters for you.

Susan first watched my 4 kids back in 2023 and now she has come a few times. We love her! She is great with the kids and they look forward to it. I appreciate her calm approach and sweet demeanor. The kids create artwork and play outside. She puts my younger ones to nap without an issue and makes lunch for everyone. I feel so comfortable with her in our home and trust her with my family. She's amazing!

I honestly can’t speak highly enough about Tracy. She has been a lifesaver for our family, and we are beyond grateful for the time she spent with our children. I work from home, and my husband travels frequently for work, so having reliable, compassionate help with our two little ones (a 3-year-old daughter and a 1.5-year-old son) has always been a top priority. Tracy stepped in and became so much more than just a babysitter—she became part of our family. Tracy has this incredible, natural ability to connect with children in a way that few people can. Our kids absolutely adore her—every time she arrives, their faces light up with excitement, and it’s clear how comfortable and loved they feel in her care. She has an amazing balance of fun and structure, which kept our kids happy, engaged, and safe. Whether it was reading books, playing games, or just spending time outside, she always knew exactly how to keep them entertained and content. When my mom entered hospice, I unexpectedly became her full-time caregiver and Tracy went above and beyond by stepping in and even helping care for my mom on a few occasions. That level of compassion, kindness, and reliability is so rare and shows just how deeply Tracy cares for the people in her life. It’s also worth mentioning that Tracy and her wife have their own small baby and a foster child, so it was easy to trust her with our own children, knowing she has experience and a deep understanding of what it takes to care for little ones. Unfortunately, Tracy recently relocated, otherwise, we would have loved to keep her in our lives forever. She truly is a gem, and anyone who has the privilege of working with her in the future is incredibly lucky. I trust her completely, and I am so thankful for the care and support she has given our family.

Hi! Im Krissy Wilgar! Im interested in your nanny position. I have been a nanny on and off for about 5 years now. When I was 16-18 years old (in high school), I was a nanny for a family with five kids. Two sets of twins and a baby. I have since picked up small jobs but am wanting more of a nanny position. After high school, I moved to Provo with my husband (now) while he plays football for BYU and attends school. During my time here I've been a Medical Assistant and Coordinator for a Residential Treatment Center in Heber. I was over 25-28 boys everyday. I took care of all their medical needs. Administering medications, calling in Rx, bringing them to appointments, worked one on one with the Psychiatrist while taking care of the boys and their records. I love babies, toddlers, teens, you name it! I have a big soft spot in my heart for kids. They are so pure. I hope we are able to meet :) Look forward to hearing from you Krissy
