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! A bit about me. 2020 was a year of change for everyone. Me, I retired after 40 years in the acute care medical field and became an empty nester! I've always loved children and would have had a houseful of my own had I started at a younger age. I worked in Urgent Care and ER facilities for at least 12 of the last 20 years, medical assisting and performing Imaging studies. I am also certified in CPR. I had a BCI background check done 5 years ago in order to participate in Austintown Fitch Band Parent activities and a consumer background check in 2017 for a job. I will be happy to provide that documentation or have more current check performed if you want. While I don't have recent paid childcare experience, my years of hands-on care is vast. I babysat to put myself through highschool and college. Most importantly, I raised two sons to become kind, productive human beings. And as you well know parenthood is "Grand Prix" of childcare! My youngest moved out of home in October and I'm finding myself with too much time on my hands. When thinking of what I would love to do in this next chapter of my life, taking care of and playing with kids is at the top of my list. I've always been facinated by kid's minds and their thought processes. I love their innocence and in innate sense of wonder and fun. I'm excellent at entertaining and engaging children of all ages. I'd love to speak with you and meet your children so that you can be comfortable with me caring for your children. 🙂

I have been working with children since I was 13. I started off babysitting, then became a preschool leader at my local church, then went into professional childcare. Working with children has always been a passion of mine! I’m able to help with homework, light household work, and more! I love to be creative and I love to help children discover their own creativity!
