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.

I absolutely love being a sitter. I’ve always had a natural connection with kids, and caring for them brings me a lot of joy. I’ve been around children my entire life, whether it was helping raise younger siblings and cousins, babysitting for family friends, or working with kids through volunteer opportunities. Being part of their daily routines, helping them learn new things, and watching them grow is something I love. I have experience with children of all ages, from infants to preteens, and I’m comfortable with everything from diaper changes to homework help and bedtime routines. I’m trained in CPR and basic first aid, and I always prioritize creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment for the kids I care for.

I have always loved being around kiddos. My mom owned a daycare that I helped out at since I was 8 that I eventually worked at until she closed it. I have been babysitting since I was 11 and I have a two year old niece that I absolutely adore. I currently am a nanny to older children but I have worked with all ages. I also work a before school care job and the children are between 4-10. I have the certifications needed to work any childcare and I even have some certificates for keeping dogs safe. I’m a very organized and determined individual and would love to join you to make life easier!
