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.

🌞 Hi my name is Bri, I’m 23 & a mom to an energetic two year old, so a little (or a lot) of chaos doesn’t scare me. I’m also looking for a family that is open to bringing the little one with. I have been working in the childcare setting since I was 16 on and off & have been at my current employer for a little over 9 months. I’m wanting to get my foot into the nanny world as I love children but want to grow that one on one care with them. Overall I bring a mix to the table from snack negotiations to a loving and safe environment where they can learn to grow. I hope to connect with you & your little ones and treat them just as I would my own. Pay: $20-$25/hr depending on number of kiddos Kids & age: up to 3 any age

Hi! I’m Alexis, a caring, responsible, and experienced childcare provider with a big heart for kids of all ages. I’ve helped care for my seven nieces and nephews over the years, so I’m very comfortable with everything from infants to older children. I’ve also babysat for many families, which has given me experience with different routines, personalities, and parenting styles. I currently work part-time at a hospital in a labor & delivery and postpartum unit, so I’m especially confident caring for newborns and supporting families with infants. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I’m continuing to grow my knowledge by working toward my lactation consultant certification and doula training. I love creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where kids can learn and be themselves. I enjoy planning engaging activities like crafts, outdoor and nature-based play, reading, and games. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks, meal prep, and keeping daily routines running smoothly. My goal is to support your family however I can while making sure your children feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’d love to get to know your family!

Looking for a calm, capable presence who can keep little ones happy and your household running smoothly? I’d love to help! I’m a dependable, upbeat, and highly organized caregiver who truly enjoys supporting families. My professional background has given me experience in fast-paced, detail-oriented environments where I balanced multiple responsibilities at once — from coordinating logistics to providing thoughtful, attentive customer service. I learned how to stay flexible, think on my feet, and approach every situation with patience and positivity. Caring for others has always come naturally to me. I started babysitting in my early teens and have since worked with children in a variety of settings, including group leadership roles and in-home care. These experiences helped me develop strong communication skills, confidence in managing different personalities and age groups, and the ability to create a fun, safe, and structured environment. In addition to childcare, I’ve also provided pet and house sitting services, further reinforcing my reliability and the trust families place in me. I genuinely love being someone others can count on. There’s something incredibly rewarding about giving parents peace of mind, knowing their children and home are in attentive, caring hands. I’d love the opportunity to connect and learn how I can best support your family!
