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. Wherever your child's interests lie, child care providers on Sittercity can engage them in a nurturing way.

I am a certified teacher who became a stay-at-home mother after several attempts to find an appropriate "home care" setting for my children. I know how difficult finding reliable child care can be, and I want to provide other families with the type of home care setting I had so much difficulty achieving.

I’m a former professor of Applied Developmental Psychology with a PhD in Education, and now that my own kids are older, I’m excited to reconnect with little ones and give working parents peace of mind while they’re away. I prefer to provide care in my home in the quaint village of Sewickley, just blocks from the library, park, and plenty of fun activities. I’m happy to offer a no-screens environment focused on play, learning, and connection.
