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.

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them.

Hi, my name is Katya. I live in Parma, Ohio for a year and a half now. I moved from NY and I love it here! I would describe my personality as quiet, calm, good listener, and positive. I have recent experience babysitting children age 2 and up. I grew up with seven younger siblings so I have experience with children of all ages including newborn babies, changing diapers, etc. I find that I enjoy babysitting and getting to know the unique personality every child has. I’m currently enrolled in a training program which keeps me busy in the mornings during the work week. My availability on Monday to Friday is from 3 to 6 and all day Saturday.

I originally found my enjoyment for babysitting through jobs given by my neighbors to watch over their kids while they ran errands. I expanded my experience through the New Visions: Health Program where I spent about 2 weeks interning in the Sitrin Child Care Center. I enjoyed my education so much that I decided to attempt a payed position in babysitting before going into college for nursing. I am certified in basic life saving procedures and took a year long class in Culinary Arts. I love aiding the development process of children through fun activities and learning opportunities and am willing to adjust for parent needs whenever possible.
