[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A babysitter provides custodial care. They keep the child(ren) alive, feed them, and play with them or let them watch screens.

A nanny provides proactive care. They use their knowledge of child development and their experience/education to promote emotional, social, physical, and intellectual development. The best nannies can offer parents advice on how to manage new stages of growth and development, food issues, school concerns, and physical needs, among dozens of other things.

Nannies plan lessons and weekly learning themes, cook nutritious meals, ensure sufficient amounts of independent and outdoor play happen each day, research and suggest activities your children would enjoy, even take kids to doctor appointments. Nannies can take direction or can take charge, depending on what her employers prefer. [/quote]

No, most nannies don't do all that.  [/quote]

Most nannies CAN do all that.  Whether or not they do is up to the parent.  If you don't want your nanny doing a weekly theme, she won't, but she'll teach letters and numbers through games and songs.  If you don't want her to cook, she won't.  If you don't want her to take kids to the doctor, it'll be up to you.  But a nanny CAN and will if it's in the contract.[/quote]
