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.

Hi! I have worked in childcare for 18 years. I am currently the lead teacher of the two year old class at St. Paul’s Day School in Kingsport. I have worked with all age children, but the two’s are my favorite. Thier laughter is contagious, and their curiosity is endless. I believe children learn best through play. I am looking for occasional babysitting jobs to help fill my time. My daughter is in college and my home is very quit without her. Hope to hear from you soon.

I am a full-time college student who is planning to go into foster care work. My favorite part about babysitting was playing with the kids and putting a smile on their faces. I grew up with an autistic cousin (more like a brother) and the previous kids I took care of had adhd. I have experience picking children up from school, helping with homework, bath time and getting ready for bed.

Hi! My name is Katelyn and I absolutely love working with kids. From a young age I have had the passion to become an educator. I have worked in several elementary schools in the past couple of years. I mainly worked with 1st grade but have bounced around to different ages as well. My passion is helping kids learn and getting to experience that "lightbulb moment" you hear everyone talk about. More personally, I have 1 dog and 2 cats. We will be new to the area, but have visited Charleston several years over my life. I love spending quality time with my friends and family. I love being outdoors. I love to spending time in the kitchen trying to either find or come up with new recipes. I also love to read. I hope that covers enough about me but feel free to ask any questions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you and the potential to meet your child.
