Child Care Definitions
- Babysitter
- Babysitters are child care providers that work in your home occasionally. They usually earn an hourly rate and often have jobs with several families. Babysitters most often are part-time caregivers, but may work full-time as well.
- Mother's Helper
- Mothers' helpers are babysitters in training. They are just like babysitters except that the parent is in the house while the helper is watching the kids. This is an excellent option if you are just getting used to using child care, want some uninterrupted time to get extra work done or want to give a babysitter a trial period.
- Nanny
- A nanny typically lives inside a family's home or travels to it daily, works for one family at a time, and receives a weekly salary. Nannies generally consider themselves to be full-time care providers, but many families employ part-time nannies as well.
- Manny
- A male nanny. Some "mannies" consider the term derogatory, so be sensitive to this sentiment, especially in the presence of a male child care provider.
- Tutor
- One who gives professional instruction (sometimes within a school setting but often independently) in a given topic or field.
