0 a person whose job is to take care of a particular family's children
1 child's word for a grandmother:
[ as form of address ] Can I have a drink, Nanny?
2 a woman employed to take care of children in the children’s home:
This is just the kind of between-stairs position that a governess, a nanny, or perhaps a superior lady's maid, would occupy.
A female nanny assisted with the children's daily care and their father was present in the evenings and on weekends.
This is a thinking person's guide to usage, beside which many other books look like nannies dishing out blancmange or schoolmasters wielding the cane.
While this assessment may be consistent with the costs of employing a nanny, the cost of many other types of childcare increase pro rata.
Some families employ nannies to provide care if they can afford the expense and living space.
Together, their parents, nanny, and therapists provided a rich language learning environment for these children.
These third persons were all females and were either the child's grandmother, aunt, nanny, family childcare provider, or a childcare provider at a larger daycare centre.
Writers reiterate their sense of the wrongness that a housekeeper, cook, or nanny will consistently receive a pension from her family, but that a governess will simply be dismissed.
