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 do nannies interact with my child?

Nannies 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, nannies on Sittercity can engage them in a nurturing way.

Hi! I am Emma Viggiani. I currently live in Rochester, NY, and I am a middle school ENL teacher in Brighton. I graduated from Niagara University in 2023 with my degree TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) with a minor in dance. I am currently working on my masters degree in Literacy from SUNY Brockport. I have worked with children since I was little and absolutely love the education field. I have a lot of experience working with students at my job, in after school programs, volunteering, and being an assistant in primary, elementary, middle and high schools. I love creating fun activities for children of all ages, specifically ones that get them away from the screens and immersed with the activity and the people around them. Going outside and enjoying nature is also important and something I would do when it is nice out!
