What is the difference between a nanny and a babysitter?

A nanny is a professional caregiver who is responsible for the full-time care of children in the family's home. A babysitter, on the other hand, is a temporary caregiver who is typically hired for a few hours at a time to care for children while their parents are away. Nannies typically have more experience and training in child care, and may also be responsible for additional tasks such as meal preparation and light housekeeping.
