nanny

n. caretaker for a child; governess

A nanny is a person who looks after the child or children of one family in their -- the child's -- home. Modern nannies may live in or out, like other domestic workers, depending on their circumstances and those of their employers. The traditional nanny was a servant in a large household and reported directly to the lady of the house. A governess, in contrast to a nanny, concentrated on teaching and training children.
