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.

Hello, I'm Beth, a local sitter in New Brighton, PA. I have been babysitting regularly for 9 years. I have experience from infant through teen years, including infant twins. Detailed experience: - I worked with a family for 4 years, several nights per week since their son was 5 months old, until 4yrs, then also helped with twin sisters. - I worked for another family for 2 years 2-3 days per week. The family had two boys, a toddler and 5 year old. Both parents worked so I cared for their toddler mostly. I also was an occasional sitter for a few local families. In addition, we have 7 grandchildren in our own family I also have my substitute teacher certification, worked mainly in the preschool. I am attentive and provide excellent care. I have attended the Red Cross Friends and Family CPR two hour class taught by an RN at the library. Thank you for your consideration for childcare.
