A nanny is a person who provides child care. Typically, this care is given within the children’s family setting. Throughout history, nannies were usually servants in large households and reported directly to the lady of the house. There are many employment agencies that specialize in childcare.

What services do nannies provide?
Here’s the standard that most agencies quote: “Anything to do with the children is the nanny’s job: making their meals and maintaining the kitchen, cleaning their rooms, washing their laundry and putting it away, straightening and organizing their play area and toys.” So far, so good.
What is the difference between a nanny and a babysitter?
The differences between nannies and babysitters can also vary from family to family.
Nannies are hired to care for your kids on consistent schedules while babysitters are hired on an as-needed, short-term basis, usually for a short period of time.
Is it worth getting a nanny?
Plain and simply, nannies are much more expensive than daycares, so if you find yourself stretching just to pay a daycare rate, you shouldn’t even consider hiring a nanny.
Harsh, but true.
There are many other less expensive, quality childcare options if you can’t afford a nanny.

What is cheaper daycare or nanny?
Daycares can offer their services at a lower cost than a nanny because they have multiple children for each staff member.
The hourly rate of their employee gets spread across potentially five or more different kids and families.
For that reason, daycare tends to be more affordable than hiring a nanny.
