[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here.

My opinion on the difference between a babysitter and a nanny is as follows:

A babysitter is someone who watches children once in a while.  Usually not on a routine, predictable basis.  The money that is earned while babysitting is used for stuff like going to the movies with friends.  The house payments  / new tires for the car / groceries / vaccines for the dog / etc.  are all funded through other means.

A nanny is someone who watches children as a profession.  This is their REAL JOB.  They use the money they earn to pay their rent.  And their car payment.  And their water bill.  And their dental bill.  They don't have some other source of income that pays their bills.

A nanny has an ongoing expectation that the same amount of money will be coming in from week to week and month to month.  Just like other adults do when they are employed at their REAL JOBS.  Because being a nanny is a REAL JOB.  A job done by grownups who live grownup lives.
