Yes, I am aware my choice is not available to many moms. I am grateful. You are right. The term babysitter does not capture what that work truly entails, especially when it is done well. So much care, love, teaching and fun is involved. We are fortunate to have found someone who does it all and well.

A stable and loving family life is so critical to successful parenting.
What’s a better term for “baby sitter”? Child-care provider? Children’s tutor?Nanny? Parental assistant? Educational guide?
