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.

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.

CPR/First aid certified Ivy League student living in Boston until the start of school in mid-September! I've spent time with kids at a childcare center (ages 6 wks - 5 y/o) since I was 9 years old and worked there full-time as an assistant teacher during the 2018-2019 school year. I absolutely love children and was a live-in nanny for 11 (!) children during the summer of 2017 (aged 8 months to 14 years old). I have experience with all ages and would love to help you out with your child care needs!

Hi my name is Emily and I am passionate about babysitting! I am looking for some part time babysitting in addition to my other job working as an alpine ski instructor in the winters. I have been babysitting and working as a camp counselor for more than five years. I have facilitated kids in various jobs including camp settings, sitter jobs, and nordic and alpine skiing. I am a big animal person as well and would be comfortable with a home with animals, as I myself have 3 cats that I take care of at home. I know from experience that kids can be unpredictable and must be watched closely. I have learned through years of experience how to be responsible, safety-conscious and prepared for any given situation. I have experience working with various different ages from preteens to kindergarten. I look forward to meeting any families interested and thank you so much for you consideratuion .

I am a full time student at the University of New Haven looking for a weekend job. I grew up with six siblings, so I'm very well versed in childcare for a range of ages. I also spent some summers in high school babysitting family friends from time to time. I am CPR and first aid certified through the Red Cross. I am very responsible, patient and energetic. I love to be outdoors and doing fun activities, and I have some experience tutoring, so I am happy to help with homework if needed. I don't mind doing simple household chores such as laundry or dishes. I look forward to meeting you and your children!
