[July 22, 2011] Sittercity Offers 100 Fun Activities to Do with Children Tweet Jul 22, 2011 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Sittercity's Compendium of Extraordinary Knowledge has provided 100 activities to do with children. According to a release, for a decade, Sittercity babysitters and nannies have been going to extraordinary lengths to engage, enrich and educate their charges in fun and creative ways -- from transforming everyday household objects into cool rainy day projects to finding imaginative ways to get the most finicky little ones to eat their vegetables. Sittercity has compiled these ideas to create the Compendium of Extraordinary Knowledge (compendium.sittercity.com) providing parents and childcare providers a place to find a wealth of activities that are not only fun and creative, but they can actually help little ones developmentally and educationally. Sittercity consulted with Dr. Robyn Silverman to categorize these activities by age (infant, toddler, pre-school and school age), as well as developmental categories (physical, educational, social and nutritional). Activities can also be searched by season (winter, spring/rainy, summer and fall). "To coin the phrase 'Out of the mouths of babes...' or in this case babysitters... came the most creative ideas to not only keep kids occupied throughout the day, but to help them develop the skills they need to grow as well-rounded individuals," said Dr. Robyn Silverman. Sittercity has connected hundreds of thousands of parents to local, quality babysitters and nannies since it started in 2001, the Company said. It has close to two million experienced sitters and nannies nationwide, all with detailed profiles including photos, references, background checks and parent reviews.
