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. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

Hi! I am Emma Viggiani. I currently live in Fairport, NY, and I am a middle school ENL teacher in Brighton. I graduated from Niagara University in 2023 with my degree TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) with a minor in dance. I am currently working on my masters degree in Literacy from SUNY Brockport. I have worked with children since I was little and absolutely love the education field. I have a lot of experience working with students at my job, in after school programs, volunteering, and being an assistant in primary, elementary, middle and high schools. I love creating fun activities for children of all ages, specifically ones that get them away from the screens and immersed with the activity and the people around them. Going outside and enjoying nature is also important and something I would do when it is nice out!

Hi! My name is Morgan Schreib a 23 yr old recent graduate of Bowling Green State University. I graduated with a Bachelor’s of Advertising and a minor in Media Production. Before this, I worked at the Shottland Family YMCA childcare center. I worked with kids from 5 weeks to 5 years old. 2 out of those 5 summers, I helped manage the infant room, and one of those summers, I went to help another YMCA center's baby room when they were in need of extra support. I adore what I do and look forward to helping another family elsewhere as well. With that being said, I have been working with the YMCA for 5 years but before even that I have experience in babysitting ages 2-14 with families in my area. Wether that be overnight, driving them to and from sports events or friends houses, or even cooking and cleaning the house. I have a passion for helping others all while creating a fun nurturing environment. I am looking forward to helping out you and your family with whatever you might need.

I love being a babysitter because everyday is different and new. I have been babysitting since I was 14 and at 15 I received my first childcare job at the YMCA within a childwatch where I have worked since then. I also have established more childcare jobs within the YMCA such as being a camp counselor, birthday party staff and rockwall supervisor. I have renewed my CPR and First Aid certification every year for the past 4 years.
