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.

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
