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. Child care providers go through an identity verification process Berbix when registering an account. Some additional safety measures include Family Watchdog screening, babysitter and nanny reviews, and secure messaging.

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.

I love being a sitter because I am a fun, outgoing, loving and caring individual. Preparing kids in all aspects of life with unbiased support and attention is something I take great pleasure and pride in. I have several years of caregiving for children and elderly, as well as simple and diverse pets. I have some general housekeeping experience and would be open to learning more! I am cpr, first aid, and swim safe certified. I have my CNA and drivers license as well as my own transportation.

Welcome, my name is Ashley! I currently own and operate a single-employee in-home daycare in Henrico County. I have a very intimate group of little ones ranging from 2-5 years old. In my spare time I also offer evening and weekend childcare to little ones outside of my preschool program as well. I‘m currently Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified. I would describe myself to be passionate, responsible, and very reliable. I've worked in childcare for over 7 years professionally. Many years ago I started my career as a daycare infant teacher and have advanced to managing and directing a childcare facility. Though I've loved every single position I've held in childcare, nothing has fulfilled me like owning my own safe space to care for my little ones. I would love to assist you with your child care needs and learn more about your beautiful family! Please let me know if I can provide you with any additional information. I'm happy to provide multiple references and/or schedule a video interview. I look forward to hearing from you !

Ashley is kind and caring and incredibly patient! Our son recently has been struggling with separation and Ashley handled it so well and 7 minutes after we left she texted an update with pictures that all was well and calm. She is punctual, responds timely to requests, and flexible if we end up running later than anticipated. She is a high quality sitter!

I have experience caring for children from infancy through elementary age, both from full time nanny care and babysitting. I enjoy creating a safe, engaging, and dependable environment for kids. My nannying style is very hands-on and relationship-focused. I love getting kids outside, encouraging creativity and imagination, reading together, exploring nature, doing crafts, and helping children build confidence and independence in age-appropriate ways. I value patience, consistency, and good communication, and I always try to support the routines and parenting style that work best for each family. I’m dependable, adaptable, and enjoy being a steady and positive presence in a child’s daily life. I’m happy to help keep things running smoothly throughout the day and support a calm, well-functioning environment for both children and parents. A little about me personally: I’m very outdoorsy, creative, and family-oriented. I especially love outdoor activities, library trips, crafts, and helping kids stay curious about the world around them. - I am CPR and First Aid certified

I'm writing as a friend of Mikaila; she has also provided childcare for my 3 kids. While it is true that I would trust her to keep my kids for any length of time - a date, or several days - the real reason for that is hard to quantify in a list of skills. It has been our friendship that has taught me the most important piece of information regarding her qualifications: Mikaila has - at her core - a genuine love and interest in protecting and nurturing children and animals. Child care is not just a vocation or hobby for her; Mikaila views and treats children as whole and valuable identities, worthy of the same respect and consideration as her fellow adults. As a stay-at- home parent, I have the opportunity to see paid providers out and about with children. I see how they interact with children, and I hear what they say to their nanny colleagues. Behind closed doors, with her close friends around - Mikaila gushes over the children she cares for. I have never heard her say a negative thing about the children or the parents. She delights in the activities and experiences she has with children. Outside of her paid work, she continues to champion children: hosting a monthly Tea cups and Trailblazers (women making a difference in our world) for young girls; attending recitals and birthday parties; proudly displaying photos of children within her social circle in her home. My children consider Mikaila to be part of our family. If you are considering working with her, you will not regret having her as a part of yours.

Hello! My name is Carolina ✨ I’m 28 years old and I have over 5 years of experience working with children. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Education from Mexico, where I worked as both a school teacher and a caregiver for toddlers. Before moving here, I lived in California and cared for three wonderful children, ages 3, 5, and 8.

I am a caring, responsible, patient, and energetic person who truly enjoys spending time with children. I love creating a safe, fun, and positive environment where kids can learn, grow, and feel supported. As a native Spanish speaker, I can also help children learn or practice Spanish, which many families have appreciated. In addition, I help keep children’s spaces clean, organized, and tidy.

My hope is to come alongside parents to help them enjoy a fulfilled life with their children. I have cared for those between six weeks and 15 years old ensuring their safety, showing them kindness even in discipline, tutoring them, and tending to their overall needs. I have five younger siblings plus two bonus kids that I assisted my mother with. I have eight years of experience planning/cooking meals, doing household clean-ups, and volunteering with two special needs children. I nannied a young girl including cooking and cleaning for over 24 hour periods while her first responder parents worked long shifts. Most recently, I spent three months in Uganda tutoring, teaching English, cooking for up to 40 people, and doing household laundry and dishes for the missionaries and their seven children between the ages of 12 and 15.
