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.

I am an elementary school teacher in Hanover County and enjoy spending my summers babysitting. I have two children of my own, an 11 year-old daughter and a 7 year-old son. I have worked with children as far back as I can remember starting with helping in the church nursery to spending most every summer being a Nanny. I still love babysitting whenever I am able. While I am mostly looking to fill some of my time during my summers off, I am also able to help families for date nights, weekends, and school holidays/days off during the school year.

I am the oldest child of four so I have worked with a number of different age ranges. My favorite thing about babysitting is getting to get to know what makes each child different and what they find cool and the things that they may be able to teach me. I am first aid and CPR trained.

I became a caregiver because I have always had a love for helping others. Through babysitting I love to come up with fun activities to do with the children and watch their imaginations run wild while creating fun and new games. I have been watching children of all ages for the past 5 years and I have made many wonderful connections with the parents and children. I truly see babysitting not so much as a job but as a way to help make any child's day more fun. I am CPR/AED/ First Aid Certified. I am also a nationally certified Patient Care Technician. Along with babysitting, I worked in my churches nursery every Sunday from March 2022-June of 2023, watching children of all ages.
