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’m Viviana Guadalupe Bruno!🌻I am a licensed teacher with a master’s degree in early childhood education and experience working with children of all ages. I love blending play and learning in ways that feel joyful, meaningful, and supportive of each child’s growth. I began nannying while on my path to becoming a teacher and continued working closely with families throughout my studies. After earning my license, I spent two years teaching in elementary classrooms, where I developed strong skills in child development, guided learning, social-emotional support, and creating structured yet playful environments. I love working with kids because I enjoy creating spaces where youth feel safe to explore, learn, move, and create. I value curiosity, creativity, and connection, and I believe children learn best when they feel supported and understood. I now run a multilingual after-school nonprofit, Arte in Motion, focused on movement, healing, and art-based projects. This work allows me to continue supporting children in a holistic, creative, and culturally responsive way. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and bring warmth, professionalism, and intention to every caregiving role.
