1. Nanny

   A nanny, childminder, child care provider, or a mother's helper is an individual person who provides care for one or more children in a family as a service. Traditionally, nannies were servants in large households and reported directly to the lady of the house. Today, modern nannies, like other domestic workers, may live in or out of the house depending on their circumstances and those of their employers. Professional nannies are usually certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, qualified in First Aid, and have a degree or extensive training in child development. There are many employment agencies that specialize in childcare and online services that aid in finding available nannies. A childminder cares for the child in the childminder's home. Depending on the country they live in, government registration may or may not be required. A governess, in contrast to a nanny, concentrates on teaching and training children. A special type of modern nanny is known as a mother's helper. They are hired to assist mothers in the chores of the household as well as care for the children. A mother's helper may live in or out of the house.

Examples of NANNY in a Sentence

1. Lindsay Davenport:

   Once you have a child, your mind is never clear. It's always worried. I remember playing one match in Bali and I could see the nanny holding him (in a building overlooking the court) and I was like, 'The sun's like right there on top of him,' and I couldn't get that out of my mind, then I told the nanny that she couldn't come because if I saw or heard him, my mind went into overdrive. It's a learning experience because you figure out what works and what doesn't work.

2. Bryce Maine:

   I’m just trying to stand up for my nanny.

3. Roger Ma:

   I think it's pretty universal in terms of the nanny discussion, that if you're still getting paid, that you compensate them.

4. Seth Norman Greenberg:

   One time, a family lived in a remote area in the Midwest where there were bears, they wanted a New York-savvy nanny — [but one] who knew how to use a blank gun to scare the bears. I couldn’t get anyone, unfortunately. Not a lot of New York nannies are open to that.

5. Signora Gucci:

   I heard my telephone ring, and my nanny told me that Maurizio was shot, first, I couldn’t believe it and then I thought, ‘My problems are gone’ and then just [felt] sorrow.
