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.

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! My name is Chloe Ngu, I’m 18 years old, and I love working with kids. Being a sitter is one of my favorite things because I enjoy helping children feel safe, happy, and engaged whether that means playing games, helping with homework, or creating fun activities. I’ve spent years babysitting for family members and friends, gaining experience with kids of all ages. I’m CPR certified and trained in First Aid, Stop the Bleed, and Teen Mental Health, so safety and emotional care are always my top priorities. I also have my driver’s license, so transportation isn’t a problem. Families describe me as patient, dependable, and easy to communicate with. My goal is to make sure parents feel confident and kids feel cared for every time I’m around.

I’m 25 years old and live in Hinesburg Vermont. I was working in independent living nursing homes, so I have a lot of experience and care. I’ve been working on Care.com on the app for a while now and it’s been going really well for me. I do watch a two-year-old weekly and I am on call babysitter, but I was hoping to find something full-time or even something to fill up my week! I do have my own transportation, and I’m willing to travel!
