TOT TENDER is a term used to describe two different types of childcare workers. A NANNY (5 letters) is a professional childcare provider who typically works in the home of the family they are employed by and is responsible for the care of the children. A SITTER (6 letters) is a person who provides temporary childcare services, usually for a few hours at a time. Both Nannies and Sitters provide supervision and care for children while their parents are away.
