Babysitting
Babysitting is the practice of temporarily
caring for a child on behalf of the child's guardians. Babysitting is most commonly performed as an
odd job by
teenagers for extra money, stereotypically girls. A babysitter is distinguished from a
nanny by the term of
employment; while some parents may have a regular babysitter "on
retainer," so to speak, the sitter is normally contracted one night at a time.
