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.

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. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

Hi, I’m Jordan! I’m a nature-loving, pet-rescuing aunt with a big heart for children. I’ve been working with kids since I was 9—starting as a mother’s helper, then babysitting in my teens, and more recently nannying for a family in need of short-term support. Alongside childcare, I’ve also spent several years as a caregiver for elderly family members. That experience deepened my patience, empathy, and ability to handle a wide range of care needs. I’m now looking for a full-time nanny position where I can build meaningful connections, support busy parents, and be a positive presence in a child’s life. I’m comfortable with pets, love being outside, and bring a nurturing, dependable energy to everything I do. Let’s connect—I’d love to see if I’m the right fit for your family!

Hello! My name is Willow and I'm 23 years old. I have 7 years of childcare experience with all ages, including time at a professional childcare facility (ages 6 weeks - 11 years). My situation is a little unique, but I know I could be the perfect match for a family looking for Summer help. I am currently located in Constable, but am leaving the country in September to attend graduate school. Due to my relocation to Constable, I've been forced to leave the family that I've been with in Plattsburgh for a year. I love art, music, playing outside, and reading! I know CPR, have my own vehicle, and consider myself to be very reliable. I'm fully vaccinated (Moderna) and am also extremely flexible with working hours (as long as I am getting sufficient hours). If there's any chance that you could use help for the summer, please reach out!
