[quote=Anonymous]We use sitters & have had a nanny. A sitter comes by for occasional work with the children and otherwise has something else that occupies her days - often a student of some sort or a recent grad between jobs. She feeds the kids, plays with them, gets them to bed, and at most, might load up the dinner plates and put toys away in terms of work around the house. She follows instructions and rarely does more than is asked.

A nanny is usually full time, but even if not has some sort of consistent schedule with the kids, is responsible for not just keeping the kids in decent shape but for enriching their days - taking them to activities, doing educational activities at home, and might be in charge of household tasks at home - like keeping the play room organized, teaching the kids to clean up after themselves, doing the children's laundry, giving the kids baths, and she may or may not have household-only tasks if there's a lot of downtime with naps, kids in part time preschool, etc. A nanny has a bigger scope of work and more responsibility, is expected to take initiative to keep things in order and the kids on the right track.
