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.

Ashley was so helpful for us during our visit to Lake Geneva. She provided wonderful and responsible care for our 11-year-old special needs son. Will definitely be contacting her again when we return to the area and have child care needs.

Hi! I’m a fun-loving, active caregiver who absolutely enjoys spending time with children and helping them learn and grow. I have eight years of experience babysitting for families of various ages. I love engaging kids with games directed at learning age-appropriate skills and always aim to include these in daily routines. I think outdoor play, and reading are essential for growth and development and incorporate these activities as often as possible. I’m attentive, patient, and always strive to create a safe, joyful environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. I’d love to be part of your family’s routine and watch your little ones flourish!

We had such a wonderful experience with Kathryn! She was absolutely amazing with our family. From the very beginning she went out of her way to be helpful and truly went above and beyond in every way. She was incredibly flexible with scheduling, dependable, and always showed up with a positive attitude. Most importantly, we felt completely at ease knowing our children were in her care. She is warm and very kind and always super attentive. We are so grateful to have found her and would highly recommend her to any family looking for someone exceptional!

I am current a case manager for kiddos in foster care and just looking to find something else to do during my free time. I love being outside and active with the kids. I am comfortable with all ages and kids tend to love me. I usually have a lot of flexibility so just ask, the worst thing I could say is no.
