Pittsburgh Babysitters

The primary responsibility of a babysitter is to keep children safe and supervised while their parents are away. This includes monitoring their activities, ensuring they are following household rules, and intervening if necessary to prevent accidents.

• Providing meals and snacks: Depending on the length of the babysitting session, a babysitter may be responsible for preparing and serving meals and snacks to the children in their care.
• Engaging in activities: A babysitter may be responsible for engaging children in age-appropriate activities such as games, crafts, or outdoor play.
• Assisting with bedtime routines: If the babysitting session extends into the evening, a babysitter may be responsible for assisting with bedtime routines such as bathing, reading stories, and putting children to bed.
• Communicating with parents: A babysitter should be prepared to communicate with parents about the children's behavior, activities, and any issues that arise during the babysitting session.

A babysitter and a nanny are often terms that are used interchangeably, when in reality they are two totally different positions. Here are some of the key differences:

• A nanny is a childcare provider who is usually employed on a full-time or part-time basis to care for the children in the family's home. Nannies typically work for one family and may be responsible for a wide range of duties, including feeding, dressing, and transporting the children, as well as providing educational and developmental activities. 
• A babysitter is a childcare provider who is usually hired on a temporary basis to care for the children for a short period of time, such as an evening or a weekend. Babysitters may be responsible for basic childcare duties, such as feeding and supervising the children, but are not typically responsible for other household duties or educational activities.
