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.

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 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 Mollee, and I’m a student at Carroll University majoring in Elementary Education and English. I’m working toward becoming a high school teacher. I enjoy working with children of all ages, including infants, and I have experience in both school and home settings. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and have experience working with individuals with mental disabilities, including autism. While I don’t have formal paid babysitting experience, I have extensive hands-on experience caring for my younger sister one-on-one since she was a baby—she is seven now. I also work in an after-school program with children ages 2–6, where I help support their daily routines and activities. I’m comfortable assisting with meal prep, diaper changes, potty training, homework, and general childcare needs. I have reliable transportation and am able to drive if needed. I will be available to work throughout the summer.

I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents in both therapeutic and educational settings. From my time as a Behavior Specialist and Applied Behavior Analysis Technician, I’ve helped kids develop social skills, manage emotions, and thrive in structured and creative activities. I’m trained in safety and crisis intervention, and I always prioritize creating a secure, nurturing environment. Beyond safety, I love making time with kids fun! Whether it’s playing games, exploring crafts, reading together, or helping with homework, I enjoy engaging children in ways that spark curiosity and joy. My background in social work and psychology gives me a unique perspective to understand and respond to each child’s needs with patience and care. If you’re looking for someone reliable, responsible, and genuinely excited to spend time with your kids, I’d love to meet you and your family!
