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.

Hello! My name is Annie and I have enjoyed working with children between 1 and 13 years old since I was in high school. I have worked as a full time nanny, weekend babysitter, provided art lessons to elementary and middle schoolers, and taught English to children online. Although I have been living in Arizona for the last six years, I am incredibly excited to be returning to my community in Vermont! Before leaving Vermont in 2020, I had been nannying for several families in Burlington and Williston. While living in Arizona, I had been working as a wolf biologist, which often provided the opportunity to work with children in an educational capacity. I am a reliable, organized, and creative seeker of adventure whether it be in nature or the comfort of your home. I am hoping to find children to connect with while providing exciting and safe care. I love to cook, help with pets and homework, and make art, and I'm more than happy to provide additional support in other ways. I am also trained in CPR and First Aid.

I'm a responsible and personable college student with both babysitting and kids camp counseling experience. I'm creative and adventurous and I love to do arts and crafts and outdoor adventures and activities with kids. I've babysat ages 1-13 for the last 5 years and worked summers at various camps--mountain biking and theatre--for the last 4 years. I'm a skilled cook and happy to help with meal prep and light household chores. I have a driver's license with a clean driving record, but do not have a car. I am comfortable at using public transportation to commute. Because of college coursework, my availability would lend itself more to a evening or weekend babysitter position rather than regular afterschool care.
