A childcare employee is a person who is responsible for providing care and supervision to children. The most common type of childcare employee is a NANNY, which is a five-letter word that is used to describe someone who works in the home of the child's parents or guardians and provides care and supervision for the child. Nannies are typically responsible for tasks such as feeding, bathing, playing with, and teaching the child. They may also be responsible for other duties such as light housekeeping and running errands.
