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.

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!

I feel I’d make an excellent woman to care for & watch over your child(ren)! The experience I have is over 25 years of nurturing & caring for my 4 children in every aspect of their development. I spent many days volunteering in their classrooms during their elementary years. A little bit about myself: I have 2 dogs. I love to walk & play with the both of them. I love to walk period. I live in the country & have a lot of nature to walk in which is so healthy for my body. I practice meditation & yoga. My husband, of 23 years, & I enjoy going to the movies & spending time together at home watching TV & playing Chess & many other board games. As well as walking our dogs together everyday if possible. I spend as much time as possible with my 17yo Son despite his busy life. I love reading. It’s my passion. I have a strong faith which keeps me grounded for what I’m grateful for each & every day. I’m the oldest of 4 children & helped my Mom, in many aspects, raise my 3 siblings, my youngest Sister was autistic. I spend as much time with my family despite them living some distance away. I do have my First Aid & CPR Certification.
