A babysitter basically just takes care of the children. A nanny, I believe, does alot more I think they not only take care of the children but sometimes takes care of the house and maybe even sometimes lives with a family to help the mother with the children and keeping the house up.....idk

Technically, a babysitter is a temporary child caregiver who may serve for only several hours at a time, caring for children from various families at various times. Babysitters do not have nearly the range of responsibility that a nanny has. However, a nanny is hired by a family for a particular length of time. It may range from several weeks to a number of years. Nannies who remain with a family for years may eventually be considered as part of the family. There are still live-in nannies who actually make the family's home their home--they have their own bedroom and bath or living quarters. However, possibly for financial reasons, many families in our day hire a nanny part-time for so many hours per week.
