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.

Hello! My name is Amorin, I live in the downtown beloit area and I am a seasonal farmworker as the head chef at Kinnikinnick Farms. I have two sons (ages 2 and 5) that me and the father of my children split custody with. His days are wed-friday so those days work best for me to care for your child earlier then 9 am. I have CPR/Heimlich and First Aid certification and I love all fur babies so I would have no problem working in a household with animals.

Amorin did a fantastic job watching my 3 year old son. She was very conscious of his food allergies, yet still made sure he was fed nutritiously and stayed active. My little guy loved being with her.

Hello loves I have been babysitting for the past 6-7 years for many different families and would love to care for your little one too! I’m currently in school attending RockValley College for psychology and child development and because I love children so much I feel I learn better about them from being around them! I always have trouble expressing myself and by watching your children I can learn from them, as they learn from me!

Hi! My name is Brooke, I’m from Roscoe. I’m a reliable, easygoing sitter with years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve grown up helping raise my four much younger siblings, so I’m very comfortable managing everything from diapers and nap schedules to homework help and keeping multiple kids entertained at once. One of my biggest strengths is how clean and organized I am—I naturally keep spaces tidy, stick to routines, and make sure everything runs smoothly while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and good at creating a calm, positive environment where kids feel safe but still have fun. Whether it’s playing games, helping with meals, keeping a structured routine, or just being someone your kids can trust and enjoy being around, I take pride in making things easier for both parents and kids. I’m also flexible, dependable, and easy to communicate with, so you can feel confident your home and children are in good hands.
