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. Babysitters and nannies have the option to complete regular background checks, and you can easily request a recent background check if they don’t have one or it is not recent. Families can also request to see professional references! Our dedicated team also champions safety across our platform every day.

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 have worked in child care for approximately seven years. The first five years working in a daycare/learning facility & the last two years nannying. The family I recently worked with had three children ages four, two & 7 months old. I have always loved working with children & once my son reached the age of being more independent, I decided to work part-time in child care. I have all my clearances, CPR & First Aid certifications & will provide references. Looking forward to continuing my journey & working with another family.

Hello my name is Tess Schmitt. I graduated from Liberty University in 2016 with a Bachelors degree in Family and Child Development. I have a lot of experience with babysitting, I was a nanny for a family for a summer, 3 kids ages 7,10 and 12 and it was an incredible experience. I also completed fieldwork for my degree in 1st and 2nd grade classrooms as well as in a daycare center. I also completed my internship for graduation at a woman's home daycare working with kids ages 15 months-7 years. I love indoor as well as outdoor activities, reading stories and learning new things that the kids enjoy. I am First Aid and CPR certified and I have lived in the cranberry/pittsburgh areas for just over 8 years. I was a nanny for a year when I first moved out here for a 10 month old little girl and I have also worked at multiple daycare centers with children ages 6 weeks to 6 years and I feel that this job will be an incredible opportunity. I am a soon to be mom of 3 kiddos, due with my third in April! looking for some part time work, preferably Fridays and Saturdays but I can also probably make other days work later in the afternoon. Please contact me with any questions that you have. Thank you. Sincerely, Tess Schmitt.
