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.

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.

I have a strong ability to connect with and care for children of all ages. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy creating a positive and supportive environment where kids feel safe, heard, and encouraged. I am the oldest of five kids so I am very experienced. I also know how to manage challenging situations calmly. My friendly attitude and strong communication skills allow me to build trust quickly with both kids and parents, making me a reliable and compassionate presence in any childcare or family-oriented setting. I nannied for two families from May 2024-January 2025 and the only reason I had to stop was because I started my Master Esthetician program, but I am now finished and would love to nanny again!

I’m a 23 year old psych major and I grew up with 5 younger siblings (i’m the oldest) and 20 cousins (im the oldest). So while I may not have much experience working with kids, i’m always surrounded by different ages and personalities. I think it’s an honor to get to make a parent’s life a little bit easier while also getting the pleasure of making sure the little ones are safe. I’m currently working as a Behavioral technician and dealing with kids around 3-14 as well.
