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.

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them.

I’m a baker and student at PVCC studying education. As the oldest sibling in a large family I was born to babysit! I have 4 years of professional experience and I love to cook. I don’t mind housekeeping in my downtime, I have reliable transportation, and I have experience tutoring friends up to the high school level. I am also an animal lover and am comfortable taking care of any pets that don’t eat live bugs. I am detail oriented, adaptable, and quick under pressure. I understand that it’s not easy to leave your whole world in someone else’s care, so my priority at all times is safety. No exceptions! I’d love to get to know you and see if I am a good fit for your family!

I love being a sitter because I enjoy kids! Kids are always fun and I feel you learn new things from them everyday especially their personality! I have worked in a daycare before but have also babysat many family members during the day or overnight. I am very patience and energetic!

When I was in school I loved being a sitter for kids after school. I helped them with homework and even did activities on days off of school. I am a CNA currently and love to help people. I have watched kids ranging from 3 months-9 years old. One kid I watched for over a year and still am watching him learn and grow through his mom since they have moved. I have a genuine passion for watching kids learn and grow and even getting the opportunity to help them even just a little bit in life.
